You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person.
— Naomi Watts
There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre.
— Nancy Meyers
There's absolutely no doubt that I enjoy doing romantic films more, and they've worked for me, too. But I love doing action as well.
— Naga Chaitanya
I'm such a romantic at heart.
— Morten Tyldum

— Morgan Freeman
Personally, I find it romantic not to be with someone all the time; you don't get used to someone or take them for granted.
— Monica Bellucci
I am not married, no. I wasn't really into the notion when I was younger, but now I think a proposal is the ultimate romantic gesture.
— Miranda Hart
On 'The Office,' so much of the show is about disguising your true feelings and your romantic feelings because it was a mock documentary.
— Mindy Kaling
I have such a rich fantasy life, I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head.
What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.
Romantic comedies are backbreaking to write because they have to be fresh.
— Mike Newell
I've actually always wanted to write like a one-person show that was sort of a romantic comedy - a show that was kind of cynical about romance and marriage but ultimately embraced it. Because I feel like comedy is always cynical, inherently, because it's contrarian.
— Mike Birbiglia
I don't like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.
— Michelle Trachtenberg
I'm actually a very romantic person, and I would like to play in a love story. As long as it doesn't get too sweet. That's not me.
— Michael Wincott
My father was possessed of an extraordinary romantic idealism, an unwavering belief in certain principles. He was always talking about the past. Always. Of course, it has a powerful effect on me.
— Michael Portillo
People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D, and that's a very big deal. It's never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see 'Spider-Man' than a romantic comedy.
— Michael Lynton
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
— Michael Caine
I honestly can't think of many more truly romantic gestures than a really well-thought-through prenuptial agreement.
— Naomi Alderman
Vampires are handy characters, as they can do double duty as monster/villains and the classic, misunderstood romantic hero.
— Nancy A. Collins
I like reading romantic novels.
— Mrunal Thakur
When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
— Morris Chestnut
The romantic idealism of my youth has been replaced with realism and hard work at what I love.
— Monique Roffey
Boys have said in the past that I live my life like a movie. I love all things romantic, like kissing in the rain.
— Mollie King
I've never felt that I had to take a role in one of those mediocre but hugely budgeted romantic comedies because I want to wear beautiful dresses and have people think I'm pretty and that I get the guy.
— Minnie Driver
When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome.
I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!
I have romantic ideas about home and what it should mean.
— Min Jin Lee
Dub has been a big influence in terms of production. It's inspired so many people and so much music - in terms of music where mixing desk was the instrument. Central to that is the echo chamber, and I think there's a little bit of a romantic thing there.
— Mike D
Love is the silent saying and saying of a single name.
— Mignon McLaughlin
I read almost no romantic fiction, in part because I barely believe in romance in the age of Tinder.
— Michelle Dean
E. B. White had a romantic tenderness toward nature in a capital R, 19th-century way. He was knowledgeable, a part-time farmer, and a hardheaded realistic person.
— Michael Sims
The thing you can't let go of is gravity. The reality of gravity in writing. If someone says something really mean in a sitcom, and the next wave isn't a reaction to the reality of that, you start losing relatability. In a lot of romantic comedies, they throw out the rules of life.
— Michael Patrick King
And I don't believe that children are innocent. In fact, no one seriously believes that. Just go to a playground and watch the kids playing in the sandbox! The romantic notion of the sweet child is simply the parents projecting their own wishes.
— Michael Haneke
I think laughter and stimulating conversation are the things that truly make a romantic evening.
— Michael Buble
Movies don't look hard, but figuring it out, getting the shape of it, getting everybody's character right and having it be funny, make sense and be romantic, it's creating a puzzle. Yes, having been a writer for so long, I have an awareness of when things are going awry, but it doesn't mean I know how to fix them.
Audiences like me in soft, romantic roles, and 'Premam' ticks all the boxes.
I am very romantic at heart in real life.
I joined the air force. I took to it immediately when I arrived there. I did three years, eight months, and ten days in all, but it took me a year and a half to get disabused of my romantic notions about it.
I've always really been a romantic at heart, and I have always wanted kids, and I think the idea of sharing your life with the right person is amazing, actually.
— Monica Lewinsky
I'm a hopeless romantic and a believer in handwritten letters.
— Mithila Palkar
A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul.
— Minna Antrim
Woody Allen is really the ultimate. I love that he believed in himself enough to do what he did. And I have that same feeling - that there's nobody that looks like me in movies, nobody would cast me as a romantic lead, but I want to do it and I feel confident that I can.
I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
I think a family is the best way to open up the appeal of a show because everyone has a mother. Everyone has a father. Everyone has cousins or siblings. Everyone's trying to pursue their romantic ideals and their relationship ideals.
— Mike O'Malley
I'm really kind of a little bit romantic for the lost era. There's a lot of us that are - kind like James Murphy, same thing - we feel like it's this magic era that happened before us. And it wasn't even necessarily disco.
Judy Garland was a different type of entertainer. She was a dancer, a singer, and an incurable romantic.
— Mickey Rooney
When I was younger, many of my romantic escapades were just a means of simply avoiding being by myself. I was afraid of feeling lonely, afraid I wouldn't know what to say to myself.
— Michael Zaslow
The first thing I learned is that campaigns are about money. I had this romantic idea that campaigns were about law and debates and so forth, which is just not true. It's about money.
— Michael Seibel
I'm definitely a romantic, no doubt about it.
— Michael Masser
People expect me to be dark and gloomy, then write that I'm a jolly chap, and after all, that is what I am. I think it's a case of an absolute romantic naivety that there should be a parallel between the work and the artist.
