Satan really is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment.

It is really rare to find someone you really really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.

I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point a romantic point but reach it in a really unconventional way a really profane way. To get to that romantic touching heartbreaking place but through a lot of acts of profanity.

I'm a hopeless romantic. It's disgusting. It really is. I've seen 'While You Were Sleeping' like twenty times and I still believe in the whole Prince Charming thing.

There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert the empty space the drama.

Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt they're sensitive and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny dear part in them that's still alive.

People ask me all the time 'Are you fed up with reality TV?' At the end of the day it can affect my career in the sense that the more reality shows there are the less scripted dramas out there but I can't ever really knock them. I started on 'Popstars ' which was a reality talent show. I have respect for them.

There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect but in a way I think it's better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don't know very well.

We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic but that wasn't that important to me because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.

You respect all of these people that you know in the business as actors. And they sort of turn around and say we really like your work. It's a nice acknowledgment.

I have two dream roles: One would be a biopic of someone I admire and respect and the other one would be some sort of action drama film similar to a 'Bourne Identity.' I just really want to do an intelligent action drama film.

I really only respect the Arab culture. I ain't really trying to pay no attention to ya know these little people in political positions and executive positions that ain't Arab culture oriented people because a lot of the times what are you really showing all of this concern for?

I believe that like most writers my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.

In high school we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

This acting's serious! And I really respect those actors. It's a tough business to be able to be something you're not and be natural and convince people on camera.

I think in New York we had respect and we would pretty much fill up the places where we went but I never got the sense that we really were Number 1 here in New York among the Latin crowds.

It is still a surprise when people tell me that I've had an influence on them particularly when it's someone I really respect.

You cannot trust 25 guys in a locker room to have the same respect and training as I do with a weapon. That I do understand. I've carried a gun for 10 years. I've carried them in the locker room and nobody really knows about it. I know how to handle myself.

Well I had an immense respect for Cirque du Soleil when I first say them in the '80s on a television show and just thought you know this group is really reinventing the circus as you know. Because there wasn't three rings. There were no animals.

I have found that the players who have played in that game really do have respect for their adversaries.

As an actor you really want to respect and honor the script. You want to try to be in the moment and you also realize that you're one part of a bigger picture and when they call action you have your dance.

Somebody who's really comfortable with who she is and doesn't care what other people think. I like women who are really strong and were brought up to be comfortable with themselves and respect themselves.
