I believed in the John Wayne image of America. My father was a Republican, and he taught me that it was a good war because the Communists were the bad guys and we had to fight them. And then there was the romanticism of the Second World War as it appeared in the films we mentioned. Obviously, the reality was very different.
- Oliver StoneI was taken by the romanticism of being thought of as an adult and living in a world that was completely new to me. I fell in love with acting then.
- Mariel HemingwayI set about seeking a thread, a theme, a style, in the realm of legend. Something that might allow me to give free rein to my juvenile sense of romanticism and the beautiful image.
- Leni RiefenstahlYou begin saving the world by saving one man at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.
- Charles BukowskiI am a big fan of vampires. I`ve always been obsessed with the genre, and the beautiful romanticism and erotic kind of nature of the immortal being, the undead who lives on human blood.
- Alex O'LoughlinIn Romanticism, the main determinant is the mood, the atmosphere. And in that regard, you could also describe Schubert as a Romantic.
- Dietrich Fischer-DieskauRomanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
- Arthur RimbaudAffairs are loaded with romanticism, morality, mythology, and intense emotions. They`re not really about sex, but about pain and fear and the desire to feel alive. They`re also about betrayal.
- Antonio CostaI had a sense of the South as a place of great parties and celebration, and there is something about my own romanticism of the South in it.
