I've been a Ryan Reynolds fan since the first time I saw him.
I was very proud of that, of taking women and making them vulnerable and so I continued doing that. Right after Beaches I did "Pretty Woman", then I did "Frankie and Johnnie" and then I did "Other Sister" and "Princess Diaries" so that helped me get into the vein there of understanding women and trying to make them very pretty and very interesting.
I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
I grew up on romantic comedies and love watching those films. They were, like, a real joy and a source of great pleasure and an escape.
If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.
I love romance. It goes back to the films I watched as a kid.
I will watch any film directed by Imtiaz Ali.
I've always liked dark, creepy movies, but for some reason, I started on the film scene with romantic comedies.
It's funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made but even a quite good romantic comedy can drive me nuts.
I love romantic comedies. I know how terrible they are, but I love them! And I don't think that makes me less of a feminist.
I'd like to do 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' 'Pretty Woman,' Meg Ryan type stuff. Romantic comedies. I'd love to do some action stuff as well.
I do have a soft corner for rom-coms, but at the same time, I like drama, too.
Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.
Beaches and romantic comedies are not my thing. I'm a workaholic.
But I prefer to go to comedies. Give me Julia Roberts smiling anyday.
I watch 'The Notebook.' I love romantic movies. I love romantic comedies.
There are so many romantic comedies made, but very few dramas or love stories. And with a love story, you have to take time to develop three-dimensional characters.
I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list.
In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them.
I read too many romance novels during my formative years. I have a penchant for romantic comedies. I understand why 'Romeo and Juliet' came to such a pass.
Usually, in romantic comedies, you end up sacrificing a great deal of the complexity - you know, just two attractive people and a good soundtrack.
The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they're not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow.
Truthfully, I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping,' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious, and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.
I don't have the body or the face for romantic comedies, so I've never been offered those. The challenge is that a lot of people see you only as your last character, so you're constantly competing with whatever your last movie was.
