The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors, there's a certain cringe factor that's involved with that.

Without romance, films will be boring. I doubt if people now understand romance, though they may claim it otherwise. I am very romantic in real life.

You can't make an action movie without action, and so, you can't make a romance movie without romance.

I have played so many romantic roles that I don't know if I am really a romantic in real life. I get confused about the real me.

If you're looking to be loved for a part, it's great and enticing to be adorable in a romantic comedy. But then, as an actor, you get stuck.

Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. It is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere.

One of the things I strive for is realism. I need to be as real as possible in the dilemmas my characters face.

There's a lot of romanticisation of the intuitive actor and method acting and all kinds of notions about getting inside a character and coming out from there.

I think that the way of bringing realism into fantasy is to treat it as the commonplace.
