Office romances are few, short, and not usually destructive.

We’re definitely hoping ‘Travelers‘ attracts more than just solely the sci-fi audience, too. There are so many elements here.

I can’t write about NRI romances.
I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don’t make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion.

At any given time, all of us have an empty spot: one that is calling for companionship, for example, or for justice, love, romance, or a belly laugh. When I sit down to write, I look to see what hole needs filling at that particular moment.

I am the king of old school romance.
For me, romance isn’t an over-the-top act. It’s someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I’m making the wrong decision, he’ll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.

I aim to tell the truth about any subject, not a romance or fantasy, not avoid the truth.
As a romance novelist, I have a rather skewed view of babies. You see, they don’t typically fit into the classic structure of the romance novel – romance is about two people finding each other and falling in love against insurmountable odds. Babies… well… babies are complicated.
Obscurity is just obscurity. There’s no romance in obscurity.
‘Superman/Wonder Woman,’ people expected, I guess, a lot of romance, or maybe something that wasn’t emotionally deep. Who knows?

Every good movie I watch, the hero becomes my favourite. I start blushing every time a hero romances a heroine.
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 approached everything, my job, my family, my romances, with intensity.

The audience loved ‘Aashiqui 2’. We are happy we could bring back the time of romance in Bollywood.
I’ve always seen ‘Y’ as an unconventional romance between a boy and his protector. It was always about the last boy on Earth becoming the last man on Earth, and the women who made that possible.

In fiction, as in real life, love might inspire acts that are at best foolish and at worst life-threatening, but in the best romances, love is the final, secret ingredient that turns mere mortals into heroes and heroines.

People will say, ‘I really don’t like romance,’ or, ‘I don’t read it – at all!’ So how do they know? Weirdly, I think that the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey‘ phenomenon introduced women to romance who would never have read it. And that means that they then go on to read my books, and that would be great.
It’s a given that we exist in a world where we have to live in continuity every day; no one is immune to that, in life or romance novels. By the same token, it’s not something I find terribly important.
I love the concept of the romance that exists when people are broken. Like, the promise of a romance when you’re at the bottom. I think that’s infinitely compelling and romantic.

I think it’s one of the great enrichments of life, romance.
Since my romance novels had all been thrillers as well, it wasn’t such a leap for me to move into the straight thriller genre. The most difficult part, I think, was being accepted as a thriller writer. Once you’ve written romance, unfortunately, critics will never stop calling you a ‘former romance author.’
I would see Shah Rukh in most romantic films. I would see him in ‘Notting Hill’ and ‘Pretty Woman.’ He is the king of romance.
While we look to the dramatist to give romance to realism, we ask of the actor to give realism to romance.

I believe that we all have ambitions and we all want to achieve something. But the larger things in life that happen to us are already pre-meditated, pre-destined. So we should just romance life.
Modern science, then, so far from being an enemy of romance, is seen on every hand to be its sympathetic and resourceful friend, its swift and irresistible helper in its serious need, and an indulgent minister to its lighter fancies.
A romance novel is more than just a story in which two people fall in love. It’s a very specific form of genre fiction. Not every story with a horse and a ranch in it is a Western; not every story with a murder in it is a mystery; and not every book that includes a love story can be classified as a romance novel.
Here’s the thing about romance novels: The moment when the hero and heroine discover that they’re perfect for each other is often the moment when it’s them against the world.

When romance is done well in a movie, it’s awesome.
Most of the pop videos I’ve seen that have any male/female interaction are usually centered around a romance – and that’s great, I am all for romance. But let’s face it, there are a lot of other sexualities and identities that are well-deserving of some shiny pop video love.
A romance is a courtship story. In the 19th century, the definition of the romance genre was an escape from daily life that included adventure and love and battle. But in the 20th century, that term changed, and now it’s deemed only a love story, specifically a courtship story.
My songs are my girlfriends. I have a secret romance with all of them. I romance with them year after year.
Romance like a ghost escapes touching; it is always where you are not, not where you are. The interview or conversation was prose at the time, but it is poetry in the memory.
One of the most common criticisms of romance is that the genre is too prescribed: If every romance novel ends happily ever after, don’t the stories lack complexity? Don’t the readers get bored?
I’m a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love – and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
Yes, I’m a fan, and ‘The Lost City of Z’ has been my inspiration. Percy Fawcett was one of my heroes, and I loved the book and the film. I was lost in the same area that Fawcett had explored, and I can identify with his sense of passion and obsession, and I definitely see the romance in searching for lost treasure.
I am obsessed with the Great Depression and with former showgirls – and the Victorians – the idea of wistful, dark romance.
For me, I sort of felt like it was kind of a fairytale… but an interesting one. I don’t know of anybody who has had a romance quite like this, but I certainly know people who have stuck it out.
I read almost no romantic fiction, in part because I barely believe in romance in the age of Tinder.
Every time you see a black romance, it’s over-the-top. There always has to be extreme hostility between the sexes. He has to cheat. She has to show him how independently strong she is, not just as a woman but as a black woman.
I’ll tell you what I hate – bands like My Chemical Romance.
I’m not a romantic. In life I didn’t have much experience with romance.
The lovers of romance can go elsewhere for satisfaction but where can the lovers of truth turn if not to history?
I think we worry way too much about where books should fit inside genres. In a romance, the hero and heroine are on a journey together, and no matter how awful it gets, by the end of the book they’ll be in love, with the probability of a happy ending.
For a century, women have binged on romance novels that encouraged them to associate intimidation with infatuation; it’s no wonder that this emotional hangover still lingers.

I don’t like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you.
I just downloaded ‘1984’ for my iPod, but I’ve read that before. It just hearkens back to the ‘romance’ of my high-school days. I really liked the space I was in when I was reading it.
From his very first works, it was clear that Henri Sauguet would bring spontaneity, romance, and a nonacademic approach back to modern music.
Boring heroines are, in my opinion, the most common romance mistake. We loathe hanging out with women who define themselves purely through their relationships… why would we want to read about them?
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die.
I think that musicians should never forget about the intimacy of bringing two people together, and the aesthetic transference where you’re almost vicariously involved in a romance between other people.
We are definitely modernizing ‘The Three Musketeers’ without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece. But in our film, corsets and feathered hats don’t take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance, and adventure.
I love movies, of course. ‘Terminator 3’ and ‘Bad Boys II’ – lots of action. Sports movies, action movies, comedies – I’ll go to those, but not ‘las de amor.’ Not romance. It’s not that I don’t like love, but on the screen it bores me.
It’s true – women want the fantasy. So give them romance – but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.
Marriage is hard work, and it’s not all romance and flowers.
I’ve had a love affair with the desert ever since I can remember. No matter what I wrote – contemporary romance, spy thriller, high fantasy – it was going to have a desert in it.

A relationship to me is never about the romance.
When I was growing up, I always read horror books, while my sister read romance novels. My sister became unmarried and pregnant during high school, and she kept saying, ‘This wasn’t supposed to happen! Why is this happening to me?’ Someone should have given her another book to read.
We go on dates thinking that person is our future husband or wife, without getting to know them, as we live in a fantasy and an illusion of romance.

A wedding, a great wedding, is just a blast. A celebration of romance and community and love… What is unfun about that? Nothing.
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.
I still don’t understand why the tag of ‘action hero‘ follows me. My films have all these elements – romance, action and comedy. None of the fight sequences of my character is an act of randomness. There’s a reason to action in my films.
I think romance is anything honest. As long as it’s honest, it’s so disarming.
Romance is tempestuous. Love is calm.
The difference between being a part-time writer and a full-time writer is like the difference between dating someone and living with them. Some of the romance is gone, but you learn things you’d never know just by dating.
We all face difficulties of our own, and how comforting it is to immerse yourself in a book – my book, any book, any romance. It’s entertainment, it’s escape, and it can even be an inspiration!
As we wrote ‘Book 1,’ before the audience had ever laid eyes on Korra and Asami, it was an idea I would kick around the writers’ room… The more Korra and Asami’s relationship progressed, the more the idea of a romance between them organically blossomed for us.
My understanding of romance novels was that it was on the beach with a glass of rose.
You can’t make an action movie without action, and so, you can’t make a romance movie without romance.

I don’t write the kind of ‘happily ever after’ that romance readers enjoy.
I told my wife that I want to take a three-year break. She supported me and said, ‘Please go ahead.’ I am grateful that she supported me. For me, this romance and understanding is very important in our marriage.
The extraordinary thing in all the versions of ‘Camelot’ and the Arthurian legend is that it’s all about the romance and the passion. It’s all about great ideals compromised by falling in love with the wrong person.
I live with romance in my brain. I’m a true-blue Cancerian like that.
The audience always looks for a change. After a spate of action, and romance, now they want to laugh.
We tend to connect bad food and bad habits with romance and sex.
I’ve had mainstream readers complain that the book is really a romance, and romance readers complain that the book isn’t a romance – with the same book! It really depends on the individual reader’s expectations going into the story, and that’s very hard to predict person to person.
Too many women throw themselves into romance because they’re afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won’t do that.
I think romantic comedies in general are marketed towards women, and I think men are half the romance, so why not have some that are truly from a male point of view.
I do think of ‘The Idiot,’ in a way, as a self-standing book about a certain struggle to make meaning, the struggle for a girl to find meaning outside of the romance plot.
People who would never sneer at sci-fi and murder mysteries have no trouble damning the whole romance genre without reading one.
I am just like any other girl, a sucker for romance.
Constant romance with my laptop through the day is a must for me, whether I am using it to send emails or just google something, which I do quite often, as I love to keep myself well-informed with my Blackberry.

There are people out there who would enjoy my books but wouldn’t pick them up because they think it’s not going to be for them. I find it infuriating.There’s a lot more going on in my books than just romance.
When you become famous at 19, it does a number in your head, so you find romance in the mundane – isn’t it so great that a guy would pick me up at my house and take me to a restaurant?
Had Elizabeth Bennet known how wildly Darcy’s heart beat for her, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ would barely have made it into a short story. Their torturously slow-burning romance is a classic example of how men and women still struggle to communicate the most basic of emotions.
My daughter loves romances. She’s a Ph.D student at George Washington University, and when my first book without a clinch cover came out, she said to me: ‘Finally, a book I can read on the Metro.’
Read everything! Don’t just read things that are in your comfort zone or things that you think you’re already going to like. Experiment; try new stuff and try new genres. If you read a lot of romance, then start reading mystery. If you read a lot of mystery, start reading fantasy.
I love writing romance, along with science fiction and fantasy – and my books usually meld all three to some degree.
I, for one, love kids in my romance novels. When done right, kids add so much conflict. Not just of the ‘interruption on the way to the bedroom‘ variety. But conflict about commitment and insecurity.

I auditioned several times before I got the part in ‘Shuddh Desi Romance.’

I think back on that day when 16-year-old me scribbled on some silly piece of paper for some long-forgotten high school career-day project that my dream job was ‘romance novelist.’
We haven’t lost romance in the digital age, but we may be neglecting it. In doing so, antiquated art forms are taking on new importance. The power of a handwritten letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an e-mail or text ever will.
Horror isn’t only about ghosts or monsters. For example, paranormal romance seems the antithesis of horror. Once you have a sexy, fun vampire who is sweet, and you have a happy ending, it’s not horror.
The appeal of romance is love. And that’s universal.
I love the romance in Kimberly Derting’s ‘The Body Finder.’ ‘Cold Kiss’ by Amy Garvey is unbelievably touching – and about so much more than just romantic love.

When you are travelling, there’s romance, and there’s music.
I joined the army on my seventeenth birthday, full of the romance of war after having read a lot of World War I British poetry and having seen a lot of post-World War II films. I thought the romantic presentations of war influenced my joining and my presentation of war to my younger siblings.
I want to bring more lawv and romance into the society.
To be joining ‘The Hunger Games‘ family is such a thrill. It deserves the hype because it’s well written, handles really big subject matter, but doesn’t talk down to its audience. And then there’s the romance element.
We’ve all known how to smile since the beginning of time. We’ve all gotten married since the beginning of time. We’ve all had romance, glamour, and splendor. Representing that is incredibly important, because period drama for people who aren’t white shouldn’t mean only spotlighting trauma.
The best advice I can give a girl is to keep new relationships private. There is nothing like a handful of well-intentioned ‘girlfriend advice’ to derail a blooming romance.
There’s a certain nostalgia and romance in a place you left.
Falling in love, romance, matters of the heart – when you fall in love, on some biochemical level you know there is a chance it won’t work out. It’s ingrained in us that if you take such an enormous risk on someone with your heart that it might not pay off. I gamble all my chips and I might actually lose everything.
I think the thing about love is that even though the things around us change, we as human beings, a lot of the ways we interact, and the ways we love each other is timeless. It requires trust, honesty, commitment, romance, and physical chemistry.
If you have a good inner life, you don’t get lonely. I’ve got a good imagination. I don’t miss romance.
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, ‘This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.’
Bromance is a steady investment of years and the guys know each other through and through. On the other hand, romance is something that requires more investment in a shorter span of time.
I’m a huge fan of romance as a concept.
I think of my books now as suspense novels, usually with a love story incorporated. They’re absolutely a lot harder to write than romances. They take more plotting and real character development.
