What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy although considering that it's me I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them they were born that way.

Those theologians who are beginning to take the doctrine of creation very seriously should pay some attention to science's story.

The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.

The world would be a very sad place if readers could only love one story.

You want people to feel something when you tell a story whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad.

I'm part of the party getting the crowd fired up singing songs pouring drinks whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet someone's always going to have a story a sad story or a happy story.

I am co-writing a screenplay now and I'm working on the rights to another story I want to do. So I plan to produce and direct. So for me I don't really feel that I am vulnerable to that sad baggage that comes with the business of filmmaking.

It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.

I think the thing's that perhaps sad really is that younger people haven't come in and I think it must have been absolutely fantastic to have worked in the 50's when you had all of the great Broadway composers and when West Side Story didn't win the Tony Award.

Informed by our sad experience of history we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy.

It's very simple I just tell my sad story and people weep.

Atari is a very sad story.

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture and that's everywhere around the world.

It's really a sad story and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect.

The whole westward expansion myth is seen as romantic. But it's a joke a blot on American history.

I get some of my ideas from watching my three daughters but most of them come from my own memories of growing up. I can remember how romantic I was not just about love but romance in the classic sense - the romantic ideals: of honor and truth of loyalty sacrifice and fairness. Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me.

It seems to me that romantic comedies used to be about falling in love but in recent years they've really become just comedies where the love story is only there as a spine to hang the jokes on.

I heard this music coming out of the radio and it was 'Ain't Nobody's Business.' It got me. I thought 'I can do this.' I decided just like that. No romantic story.

With While You Were Sleeping it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.

I was also the romantic lead in The Boston Strangler - I was the only one that lived to tell the story - so I called myself the romantic lead.

'I Am Number Four' is an action-packed adventure entwined with a romantic story. I play the role of John Smith. John wants to be a normal kid but he is from a different planet and he has been given this destiny of becoming a warrior.

I bought a selection of short romantic fiction novels studied them decided that I had found a formula and then wrote a book that I figured was the perfect story. Thank goodness it was rejected.

You know I grew up on romantic comedies and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.
