It is that kind of space, that little space of longing, whether it is in something like romantic love, or whether it's in something like divine love.

I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs.

I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you're dating or seeing have something special and it's a more special occasion.
For me, the perfect romantic suspense hero has got to be tough on the outside but tender at his core.

I mean, he might bend the law if he thinks the ends justify the means.
