My favorite love scenes in movies don't involve passion, they involve nobility or sacrifice.

We must try to contribute joy to the world... I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.

A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that.

Anyone who reads advice books about romance has one problem to begin with: bad taste in literature.

You slide down in your seat and make yourself comfortable. On the screen in front of you, the movie image appears—enormous and overwhelming. If the movie is a good one, you allow yourself to be absorbed in its fantasy, and its dreams become part of your memories

What in the world is a leave of presence? It means I am not going away.

There must be a better reason to have a baby than to provide a plot point in a rom-com. Don't you think?
