Xavier Dolan
Canadian Actor
What I'm interested in is how your career choices can affect your private life, romantically or with your mom, your relatives, your friends, your hometown, and how media manipulates information - not newspapers or blogs, but the magazines that people impulse-buy that tell you what's hot and who's not.
Quote examples
Jessica White
American Model
I have male friends. I'm the type of girl that always had male friends, more male friends than female friends. So just because you see me with the person doesn't mean that I'm kicking it with them, hanging out with them, or we're romantically involved in any way, shape or form.
Quote examples
Susanna Kearsley
Canadian Novelist
How much of our lives is consumed with meeting people, attracting people, keeping people and missing people? Usually, when everything is resolved romantically in one of my books, the characters stop talking in my head, and I stop telling the story.
Quote examples
Dwayne Johnson
American Actor
When I say I'm going to take care of a woman, I don't just mean physically or sexually or romantically. I'm going to take care of her emotionally and spiritually. I'm going to take care of her in all ways. I take a lot of pride in that today.
Quote examples
Gloria Steinem
American Activist
If you are not a feminist in love, you fail to recognise someone who does not love you. Feminism makes love easier. Otherwise, there is the danger of feeling romantically drawn to someone who does not see you as an equal.

Sure, there are times when I'd like to have someone romantically in my life, but then I think about my life as a whole and realize I'm generally happy being alone.

Dan Stevens
British Actor
You can be romantically interested in someone and love them and still, I think, be really interested in things and a certain lifestyle that person might provide.

Yvette Mimieux
American Actress
