I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.
— Orlando Bloom
I wanted to tell a romantic and dark side of Ottoman history that was also slightly political, saying to the previous generation of writers, 'Look, I'm interested in Ottoman things, and I'm not afraid of it, and I'm doing something creative.'
— Orhan Pamuk
The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
— Norman Jewison
With clothing being designed that allows you to be hugged virtually, video conferencing becoming ever sharper, and our social and romantic lives increasingly taking place online, the gap between the physical and the virtual is getting ever smaller.
— Noreena Hertz
I think when you are trying to be intimate with people that are so incredibly self-obsessed, it's not going to work. It's not going to be romantic, and it's probably going to be one-sided.
— Noel Wells
I would say one of the most romantic things I've done is I've taken a girlfriend back to her hometown when she hadn't been back for years. It was in Puerto Rico, and we stayed there for about a week and a half. She showed me the different places she grew up around.
— Noah Centineo
I don't want to adhere to any particular image. I have tried to bring in variety to my characters. But then, only a few actors have managed to earn this tag of a romantic hero. Many have aspired to get such a label. So I am not complaining.
— Nivin Pauly
I think Bach is equally a romantic composer because he laid the seeds harmonically for people like Chopin and the great Romantics, Brahms, so it's difficult to you know all this like labelling and putting - I think Bach is attractive to musicians because he supersedes the labels.
— Nigel Kennedy
I would love to make a romantic comedy.
— Nicolas Winding Refn
Moving to the country is a very bold thing to do. You can have vague romantic notions about doing that, but in actuality, it can be a terrifying thing.
— Nick Cave
I used to try to draw my girlfriends. I think one of the most romantic things that anybody can do is draw a portrait of the person you love.
— Nick Carter
I knew after 'Sarah Marshall' that my favorite genre is romantic comedy. Nothing is more satisfying than a great romantic comedy.
— Nicholas Stoller
After these three novels I gave up writing novels for a time; I was dissatisfied with romantic doom, yet didn't see much way around it.
— Nicholas Mosley
Romantic love can be terrifying. We experience another human being as enormously important to us. So there is surrender - not a surrender to the other person so much as to our feeling for the other person. What is the obstacle? The possibility of loss.
— Nathaniel Branden
I don't know who would not classify themselves as a romantic. I think that would be sort of sad.
— Natalie Portman
I think that, occasionally, fame and popularity can garner more attention for individuals or films. But as a person who believes in my craft, I like the romantic notion that skill and hard work is more important than notoriety.
— Nargis Fakhri
I am a hopeless romantic and I love to spoil my girlfriends.
The most romantic thing someone did was surprise me at the airport, after being away for 3 months in Los Angeles. You always see people with signs, and you're like, 'Isn't that lovely?' and then you see your own name on one - that isn't a taxi driver's! I was very impressed.
— Ophelia Lovibond
I'm a bit of a romantic. In theory!
— Olga Kurylenko
Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
I am keen to work in romantic stories and dramas.
— Nora Fatehi
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.
— Noel Gallagher
'To All The Boys' is one film amongst a couple other romantic comedies through the decades that promotes... I don't know what they're calling it. A modern man? A man that's more emotionally accessible and available and willing to communicate and actually care and nurture.
'180' is a romantic film, but I don't think it can be classified as a fluffy love story. It is a wonderful story with a script that is layered and more complex than the normal ones.
— Nithya Menen
It seems to me that romantic comedies used to be about falling in love, but in recent years they've really become just comedies where the love story is only there as a spine to hang the jokes on.
— Nigel Cole
My political awakening, if I can be as grand as to call it that, was all about what was happening around me. It wasn't some romantic, patriotic vision of Scotland going back to what it had been 300 years previously.
— Nicola Sturgeon
I love being manipulated by what I see. I love weepies and romantic comedies where you're reaching for the Kleenex at the right moment.
I am a hopeless romantic, and so is my wife.
— Nick Cannon
I think the best romantic comedies don't have villains.
I tend to look out for things with a resonance to my youth - artists or objects that seemed romantic all those years ago. I never buy anything purely for its value. I like possessions that smile back at me.
— Nicholas Haslam
I'm drawn to the romantic aspect of a character. It's human emotion. It's much more fun to watch. And it's much more fun to play.
— Natalie Zea
Tus Ojitos' is an incredible and romantic Peruvian waltz; I tried to make it appear that the heart is singing.
— Natalia Lafourcade
Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries famously lasted 72 days, and was reported in the tabloids as being all about the big bucks paid by magazines for the bridal photos: it is a spectacle of a bride-to-be as entrepreneur, not as romantic heroine; the groom, in this scenario, is nothing but a prop.
— Naomi Wolf
My home is attached to a study - in fact, my home is my study, and I have a little room to sleep in. I need to write looking onto the street or a landscape. Looking at reality from some distance gives me romantic visions.
I am such a diehard romantic. I guess a part of me thinks I am Juliet.
— Olivia Hussey
I love it when a man cooks; it's one of those points that makes me adore a guy. I think it's so romantic and I feel cared for when a man cooks.
I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.
People are like, 'Are Nimona and Ballister romantic?' And I'm like, 'No! Of course not.' 'Well, are Ballister and Goldenloin in a relationship?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, okay.'
— Noelle Stevenson
I think that romantic comedies have a special place in most people's hearts, especially the younger demographic.
I have been doing a lot of romantic movies, so such roles don't excite me much now. I would like to play an out-and-out, really cruel villain once. My character in 'Da Thadiya' had such a streak, but I want a full length villainous role. It is a different kind of excitement.
I am a pretty emotional person. Any act of kindness or unkindness moves me. When I see a romantic couple sitting by the beach, it moves me. I don't break down or crack under pressure, but I am just sensitive.
— Nimrat Kaur
I think that sometimes, romantic comedies have to be really broad, and that the plot of people falling in and out of love or whatever is not enough. 'Enough Said' had that stuff, but I wanted it to be fun and funny while also grounded in reality.
— Nicole Holofcener
We need a romantic illusion to embark on relationships in the first place. After that, they survive or fail for other, more practical reasons.
— Nick Hornby
The work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.
A good romantic comedy is my favorite movie to watch.
I have a great wife and it's very easy to be romantic because it makes her happy and then my life is so much better when she's happy.
— Nicholas Sparks
If we perform the romantic repertoire we need more musicians.
— Neville Marriner
I always think the most romantic books or films are the ones where the romance doesn't happen, because it makes your heart ache so much watching it.
I am a romantic, and I think dates are wonderful. I like quirky and fun things. Like going for a bike ride or for a pedicure together.
