You can't believe the amount of speculation you get over your private life.

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.

In spite of the haze of speculation, it is still something of a shock to find myself here, coming to terms with an enormous trust placed in my hands and with the inevitable sense of inadequacy that goes with that.

I'm tired of the speculation about my personal life.

We not only romanticize the future; we have also made it into a growth industry, a parlor game and a disaster movie all at the same time.

Nobody's life is as romantic as it is in fiction.

I got married, other people went off. We had sort of another public-we were our entire readership for many years, and we were very excited by each other.

People keep speculating about my personal life because I am evasive about it.

To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.

I was in love with the idea of love, so I created elaborate fictions for my relationships - fictions that allowed me to believe that what any given paramour and I shared looked a lot like love.
