Michael Winter Quotes

Sex complicates, but it is the power of love to simplify.

I think love and sex are separate and only vaguely similar. Like the word bear and the word bare. You can get in trouble mistaking one for the other.

When sex disappears the tremendous energy of love is left behind. Each ugly thing in your mind, disappearing, leaves a great treasure behind.

Love is music, and sex is only the instrument.

In this loveless everyday life eroticism is a substitute for love.

I find the selectivity of erotic love - the choice of this man or this woman - much more intelligible if liking the person is the origin of sexual interest, rather than the other way.

When you see a bad romantic comedy, you see the script, the director, and the actors trying to create this warmth and this pathos and this feeling that you care about them. That cannot be manufactured - it's either there or it isn't.

Most of my stuff before CSI was kind of the jerk boyfriend, so I thought this was one of those deals, where these two have a thing going on, so we had a scene where they make out.

The more we are filled with thoughts of lust the less we find true romantic love.

You know, sex is actually not so original as the way people love or the stories behind each relationship, which is what you remember. Sex is sex in the end.

Every love story needs a catalyst of some sort.

The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.

They've never written a love story for me since I've been on the show and I think there's just more weight to it when two people love each other.

The love-bite, it is the beginning. You will be irresistible.

She walks well, she looks good. Let's see how she kisses.

I couldn't care less about sex unless I meet someone who I think is wonderful.

In The Touch, the love scenes are the same as they were in The Thorn Birds or anything else I've ever written. I find a way of saying that either it was heaven or hell but in a way that still leaves room for the reader to use their own imagination.

I always get carried away when I'm kissing. I just go nuts! Walking away after it is the strangest moment for me. It's embarrassing - not knowing what to say to each other.

I prefer love over sex.

I wanted to make a love story without being nerdy.

Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effort?

I think sex is a very minor part of most romance novels.

I just don't believe in love at first sight anymore, even though I've based my whole career on the concept. In my experience, power, money and influence always attract the opposite sex. It's something that I've always exploited - with good results.

I think exciting sexuality is part of the fantasy, part of the entertainment of a love story.
