Quote

I'm not a romantic. In life I didn't have much experience with romance.

The real romantics are the boring ones - they let another heart bore a hole deep into theirs.

My wife would say I'm not romantic at all, but I would say that I'm the ultimate romancer because I write about... life being brilliant.

I am definitely romantic, and I love romantic stories - that's why I keep making romantic movies.

The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer's life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.

I'm not about to talk about what's romantic in my life - I figure if you talk about it once - then that's an open invitation for everyone to dig into your personal life even further.

Many luckless people imagine that romance is dead: some, overcivilised, fondly suppose that there never was romance: a poet tells us that romance is unrecognised though really present: but scientists can meet him daily, walking at large and undisguised in the world.

So many people romanticize writing. And I get it. But I never once wanted to be a writer.
