1. I'm a complete romantic - it's why I always get married. Someone should really stop me. - Pamela Anderson
2. I don't think of myself as a romantic person; I'm kind of more rough and tumble, I think. The things I'm drawn to are outdoorsy, I only get dressed up when I have to.

11. Surrealism was necessary - essential, even - in the 1920s to bridge the gap between rationalism and the subconscious. It started something important.

I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting. - Jeff Bridges
26. Always protect yourself. Every woman, no matter what her age, romantic or marital status, should have a bank account in her own name. - Sarah Ban Breathnach

28. I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world. - Mindy Kaling
29. I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan! - Mindy Kaling
30. I have such a rich fantasy life, I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head. - Mindy Kaling

32. When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome. - Mindy Kaling

They used to be well-received but that was before she started studying Shakespeare at drama college. Now I feel so inept. - Gary Lineker
40. We have got too many kids around the house to have a romantic meal at home. But Danielle is a fantastic cook. She does a brilliant lasagne, great roasts and a great chilli dish. She knows the way to my heart. - Gary Lineker
41. I've had fun doing romantic comedies, but I just can't anymore. There's nothing fulfilling creatively, there's nowhere to grow, nothing to learn from it or for yourself. I'd rather just be home with my family or write music until that special project comes my way. - Mandy Moore

Naturally I like to do, I like doing dramas, I like conflict, and when I do a comedy, you know, I've found that, like, romantic comedy is the trickiest one, because often it's neither: it's not romantic and it's not funny. So, like, I like a comedy that's biting. It's biting humor or really quirky humor. - Matt Dillon
