Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.
Copy Quote View & ShareI 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.
Copy Quote View & ShareI know it's hard to blame the time, but there's a bit of an expectation for a summer movie. I think that 'Superman Returns' was a bit nostalgic and romantic, and I don't think that was what people were expecting, especially in the summer.
Copy Quote View & ShareI think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously.
Copy Quote View & ShareI don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it'd drive me crazy.
Copy Quote View & ShareI'd love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps, if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct, a Bollywood movie. And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of 'The Good Wife.'
Copy Quote View & ShareOn 'The Office,' so much of the show is about disguising your true feelings and your romantic feelings because it was a mock documentary.
Copy Quote View & ShareThe dark comedies tend to be in a non-releasable area. There can be romantic comedies. There can be dramas. But there's no 'dark comedy' inbox for the advertising.
Copy Quote View & ShareI think in general, romantic comedies tend to take one person's point of view, but every once in a while you get something that is balanced for two people.
Copy Quote View & ShareI had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.
Copy Quote View & ShareYou know, I've always thought that it would be really funny if somebody made a romantic comedy where absolutely everything went well from beginning to end.
Copy Quote View & ShareIf I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that's about as romantic as I can think of.
Copy Quote View & ShareI would have loved to do 'Alice in Wonderland.' Being a 'Bond' girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in 'Eclipse' and I'd definitely like to continue down the action road. I want to do a romantic period piece, but those are really hard to get made because they're very expensive and there's not a huge demographic.
Copy Quote View & ShareThe only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.
