I have never once celebrated a Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday. For me, it's another opportunity to tell my kids or whoever how much I love them. I hang pink crepe paper and make heart-shaped pancakes!
— Delilah
There's nothing more romantic after not seeing your husband for four months than to have our first night back together, on a Broadway stage, with 12 million people watching.
— Deborra-Lee Furness
On one level, this was the biggest challenge out there - to make a film of this scope, in this amount of time, and to go into a different genre, essentially. Yes, I've done a vampire film, but 'Eclipse' is a very different kind of thing. This is a romantic story, which swings from a darker, more abject feeling to very pure romantic scenes.
— David Slade
I love Billy Wilder, and I love the way that his films can be very touching and very moving and very romantic, and at the same time there's always a little cynical undertone, there's always something that undercuts things.
— David Nicholls
If I had no family, my wife and I would lead a much more romantic and nomadic existence.
— David McCallum
Somehow, the French got this idea of the starving artist. Very romantic, except it's not so romantic for the starving artist.
— David Lynch
For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages.
— David Fincher
Here in New Orleans, what a lot of the musical families do - and this is a romantic concept on my part - is they teach their kids to tap dance first. Then after tap dance, you learn piano, and after piano, you get to pick between all the instruments that are out there.
— Dave Pirner
I would love to do a Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly type movie musical - a fun, song and dance, romantic comedy. Or, even just play the lead in one of those broad comedies - that would just be fantastic.
— Dash Mihok
I feel so fortunate to have been able to work so much, particularly in the horror-thriller genre, but I would love to be able to do something perhaps a little more dramatic or even a romantic comedy.
— Danielle Panabaker
I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up.
— Daniel Radcliffe
I love surprises - champagne and strawberries, all that pampering, romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.
— Danica McKellar
Sadly, people think a guy and a girl can't be friends without something romantic going on.
— Daisy Ridley
Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
— Cyril Connolly
Love songs just kind of come out very naturally, me being a very romantic person.
— Cuco
I saw Tequila Sunrise as a romantic picture with complex, bigger than life characters.
— Conrad Hall
When I was a teenager I was a total romantic escapist. My world was books.
— Colin Wilson
A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can't do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships.
I believed that the husband takes care of the family, and the wife takes care of him, and they are true to each other. I know that sounds a romantic illusion, but it can be true.
— Debbie Reynolds
Here I was, having done a thriller and a horror movie - why did I have the audacity to make a romantic fantasy? How can I continue to make genre films? Well, maybe I don't want to continue to make genre films.
Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.
— David Morrissey
'Perfect Sense' is a film about love and catastrophe, which I hope is a powerfully romantic and emotional take on the apocalyptic sub-genre. Its aim is to be a minimalist concept movie - where seismic events occur in simple ways that ask the audience to use their imagination.
— David MacKenzie
I'm a deeply romantic person, nostalgic to a fault.
— David Lowery
I'm always trying to perfect the romantic comedy, though.
— David Duchovny
When I'm with the wife, and we're having a romantic night, I occasionally think about a glass of red wine, but I'll order a sparkling water. I'd like the wine, but it wouldn't end with one glass, so I don't even go there.
— Dave Gahan
Romantic stuff is not something I really remember.
— Darius Rucker
I don't know what I'd do if I was making a romantic comedy; I wouldn't feel like I was earning my $100 a day.
— Danielle Harris
I have a whole section of a filing cabinet in my office full of ideas. Some are ideas for books or articles I want to write. One is a romantic comedy; one's about my dad's life. I've also got ideas for books on moral relativism as well as democracy and human nature. There's also a really cool concept for a spy novel.
— Daniel Lubetzky
It's harder and harder to make a well-done romantic comedy these days because the conventions have been so played out.
— Dana Fox
I need to figure men out. I've been seeing men that either remind me of my mother or remind me of my father. I either end up caretaking or being abandoned so I've had enough of my romantic instincts. I need to date away from type.
— Daisy Lowe
Everything 'Atonement' does, it does incredibly well, including depicting characters of varying ages and temperaments and showing the intensity of early romantic love and connection and the very different intensity of haunting regret.
— Curtis Sittenfeld
People say the 'Lost Generation' in a romantic sense, but I think it was tragic. They were really lost.
— Corey Stoll
It's glorious to be able to go onto the Internet and hear any kind of music anywhere, from anywhere, and get it instantly. But there's also something glorious about having a record with a sleeve and looking at the artwork, putting it on the turntable and playing it, there's still something romantic to me about that.
— Conor Oberst
'Intelligent Life' is kind of a companion piece to 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' Internally, it's a sci-fi romantic thriller.
— Colin Trevorrow
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine who does a certain kind of cinema, which is why I experiment with the types of films that I do. But yes, I won't deny that romantic love stories or romantic comedies are what I enjoy doing the most, because as an audience those are the kind of films that I like watching.
— Deepika Padukone
If you lift the romantic element out of my plots, you still have fully formed mysteries. In the same fashion, if you pull the mystery out of a historical romance, you are left with a perfectly satisfying story.
— Deanna Raybourn
If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.
— David Schwimmer
It seemed romantic but also tragic - people would be winning but then lose it all, or crash but fight on, break bones but get back on their bikes and try to finish. Just getting to the end was seen as an achievement in itself.
— David Millar
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.
— David Lyons
The romantic notion of the clubhouse as a traveling fraternity of working-class heroes - the boys of summer - is perhaps the most potent in all of baseball.
— David Grann
When I was 18, I thought that, to be a romantic, you couldn't live past 30.
— David Bowie
I want to go play a villain or an action hero or a nice, light, romantic comedy or something. That would be good.
Therapy was the biggest romance of my life.
— Dar Williams
I guess it's ridiculously romantic, but I wanted to be a full tilt, sink-or-swim writer.
— Daniel Woodrell
There is as much wisdom in listening as there is in speaking - and that goes for all relationships, not just romantic ones.
— Daniel Dae Kim
I find L.A. kind of romantic, actually. As a movie junkie, it's a city that was built by the movies. There's something really weird and surreal about it that I find energizing.
— Damien Chazelle
Romantic comedies are particularly hard to make.
— D. B. Sweeney
I have a romantic side.
— Curtis Jackson
My idea of a romantic night is to watch action films.
— Corey Hart
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.
