Frederick Allen Quotes

Money can't buy me love.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

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 us fall in love with someone's persona and spend the next three to five years discovering who that person really is. If you can stay connected through that process of raw vulnerability, I think you have a shot at the prize of knowing and accepting another human being for who and what they really are after years of highs and lows.

I definitely don't think that money can buy you love. It can buy you affection but certainly not love.

Trust is not about what you can or cannot do in the name of love but who you are and what you choose to reveal as things progress and evolve.

We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.

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

Live-tweeting your bikini wax is not vulnerability. Nor is posting a blow-by-blow of your divorce. That's an attempt to hot-wire connection. But you can't cheat real connection. It's built up slowly. It's about trust and time.

For a woman to say she has had a dalliance with another woman is quite trendy these days. I do not like trendiness. Life isn't about dalliances - it's about individuals. You come across people in your life that you find very interesting. It's not about something flighty.

Love scenes feel very mechanical. But our whole job is to make it look real.

'Before I Ever Met You' was the first one to come out and that just dives into the grit, and it's pretty graphic about a relationship. For my first song, it was very special the way it happened, because I didn't really hold anything back, and people responded to it.

People enjoy photos of me by myself, and people also love to see how in love I am - it's a really beautiful thing to share with my fans, actually.

Everything is just so much more romantic and real when it's yours and it's private.

Don't lie to your partner. Ultimately the expression on your face gives you away, and they feel betrayed by the lie. If this is the person you're going to be with - forever and ever, for better or worse - they will love you for all of your good and all of your bad. They'll love you for you. So open communication is key. I have no secrets and no skeletons in my closet with my husband, and I love that. I feel comfortable and at ease with myself when I'm around him. I love the woman that I've become with him.

Only lovers know the value and magnanimity of truth.

My passion for Sarah had killed simple lust forever. Never again would I be able to enjoy a woman without love.

I'd rather be screwed up with you than smooth with anybody else.

This may be the age of automation, but love is still being made by hand.

To bee beloved is above all bargaines.

The real gift of love is self disclosure.

Loving becomes, and the ability to love, becomes one of the most important things in life.

Love, and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love is or should be.

Though a man excels in everything, unless he has been a lover his life is lonely, and he may be likened to a jewelled cup which can contain no wine.

Not romance but companionship makes the happiness of daily life.
