I'm a bit of a romantic. In theory!
Everyone thinks that Prince and I had a beautiful, romantic love affair, but we didn't. We just let people think that in order to promote 'Purple Rain.'
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.
You only need to look at Jane Austen to see how crossed wires can become a defining aspect of romantic life. Then again, if the course of true love ran more smoothly, it would have a terribly detrimental effect on our cache of love stories.
I'm a very romantic and passionate guy.
I don't make romantic films. I make films about human relationships.
The audiences know their actors. Didn't Shah Rukh Khan have a romantic image despite playing a dad in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai?'

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.

WWI is a romantic war, in all senses of the word. An entire generation of men and women left the comforts of Edwardian life to travel bravely, and sometimes even jauntily, to almost certain death. At the very least, any story or novel about WWI is about innocence shattered in the face of experience.
I honestly can't think of many more truly romantic gestures than a really well-thought-through prenuptial agreement.
