Parineeta is a classic love story. Sanjay Dutt
It’s rare that you can promote a love story and feel fear in a film. Cary Fukunaga
They’ve never written a love story for me since I’ve been on the show and I think there’s just more weight to it when two people love each other. Crystal Chappell
Anytime I fall in love, I feel it’s a first time. I have had no successful love story yet. I hope I will succeed next time when I fall in love. Sonam Kapoor
In a recession, people want to be told for two hours that everything is going to be OK. They want to escape from their humdrum or painful reality into a feel-good drama, or a love story that transcends their daily life. Alison Owen
I’m so excited to see ‘Horns’ because it’s so many different genres in one film. It’s a sci-fi, it’s a love story, it’s a horror movie, it’s a fairy tale. Juno Temple
Every movie is a love story. Sandra Bullock
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. Nigel Cole
It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way. Ryan Gosling
I think the best type of action movie combines a love story with the action. Morris Chestnut
I like the idea of a love story between men. There is a great affection between men, which exists much more in ethnic groups: Latin, Italian, Jewish. Arne Glimcher
The young are in great danger. Much evil results from their light and trifling reading. Much time is lost which should be spent in useful employment. Some would even deprive themselves of sleep that they might finish some ridiculous love story. Ellen G. White
I think women love a passionate love story. E. L. James
Critics seem to forget that every love story is different – that there is uniqueness in even the most commonplace of matches. Sarah MacLean
A good love story always keeps the pot boiling. James Patterson
‘Fidaa’ completely sticks to being a love story. It doesn’t have any digressions. Opposites attract, they say. Varun Tej
Michael Moore didn’t have to worry that anyone would misinterpret the title of his film, ‘Capitalism: A Love Story,’ because in Hollywood, no one loves capitalism. That’s too bad, because Hollywood is one of capitalism’s greatest successes. Alex Tabarrok
To make a love story, you need a couple of young people, but to reflect on the nature of love, you’re better off with old ones. That is a fact of life and literature – and of the novel ever since it fell in love with love in the 18th century. James Buchan
‘Cabin Fever’ was very much inspired by ‘The Thing.’ It’s really a perfect guy’s horror movie: There’s no love story, it’s just straight-up horror. And it’s so well-done. It moves at a slow pace, but it’s really terrific. Eli Roth
I’ve been a huge fan of Hal Ashby forever. And I think that the distinctive thing about ‘Coming Home’ is the love story, and how – kind of emotionally real it is, and how these two characters allow each other to see their – kind of vulnerabilities. And it’s great because it’s a love story that’s not really that cheesy, either. Jonathan Levine
Jesus’ love for His children continues to be the greatest love story of all time. Monica Johnson
I’m working on a second cookbook and am working on my love story, ‘Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.’ Ree Drummond
I wanted to make a love story without being nerdy. Sofia Coppola
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. Gina Prince-Bythewood
‘Upside Down’ is a fantasy love story. It’s about love at first sight – when you just fall in love instantly and will battle any obstacle to be with that girl. Jim Sturgess
I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don’t make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion. Om Puri
Many friends of mine told me that normally only guys like a kung fu movie and the girls would be turned off – they want to see a love story. But Ip Man is a family man, so the women see this and go: ‘I want my husband to be like this man. He’ll be a scholar, he’ll be fighting, he’ll care for the family.’ So we had a bigger audience. Donnie Yen
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along. Rumi
The love story for me was the nature of the love and not the age of the lovers. Kate Capshaw
If I could sum up ‘Shadow’s Claim’ in six words: cage fights with hot alpha males. Seriously, though, while the fights are the backdrop for Trehan and Bettina’s love story, the main emphasis is on how Trehan – a pitiless master assassin – wages the ultimate battle to win her heart. Kresley Cole
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. Winona Ryder
I’m actually a very romantic person, and I would like to play in a love story. As long as it doesn’t get too sweet. That’s not me. Michael Wincott
I think it’s wonderful when a love story begins with a great deal of romance and affection, passion and excitement, that’s how it should be. But I don’t necessarily know that it’s the wisest thing in the world to expect that it ends there, or that it should, 30 years down the road, still look as it did on the night of your first kiss. Elizabeth Gilbert
‘Love Story’ is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn’t like him. All of them! Taylor Swift
My Soul to Keep is the ultimate love story with a black man and a black woman. I call it the ultimate love story. It’s about an immortal. We’re shooting for this Fall and that’s been a six year development right there. Blair Underwood
A real love story has to finish bad. That is what I think. Marjane Satrapi
I love to have real people of history interact with my fictional characters. History gives me the plot. I research the period meticulously, and then I blend in a romantic and sensual love story to give it balance. The heavier the history, the more romantic the couple must be. Virginia Henley
I’m writing a new love story, set in eastern North Carolina. Surprise, surprise, huh? Nicholas Sparks
I had long wanted to write a love story, and I had long – wisely, I felt – shirked the challenge because I felt it the hardest story of all to write. Richard Flanagan
I fell in love with Nawaz on-screen after watching ‘Gangs of Wasseypur.’ So my love story starts with him from there. I was quite nervous to act alongside him. He is an excellent actor. Amy Jackson
I’ve read pretty broadly on the Holocaust – both fiction and non-fiction – and to me, ‘The Lost Wife’ is one of the best. The horrors of war serve as a backdrop to a love affair that spans a lifetime, and that love story stayed with me long after I put down the book. Lauren Weisberger
We can make science personal, like a love story or your best friend. Jim Sullivan
‘Not A Love Story’ is inspired by true events, but it is not based on those events completely. When I first read about the Maria Susairaj case, I was fascinated with the psychological aspects, that two seemingly very ordinary people can go completely berserk. Ram Gopal Varma
Life is one big love story with hundreds of little love stories within it. Ram Charan
The first movie was mostly about George and Julia. This one is mostly about me and Catherine and our love story and our whole history. So it’s a very different movie. Casey Affleck
I’d love to do a love story. I’ve never done a true love story, which would be awesome. But then again, I don’t think I’ve had a true love story, even in my own life. Maybe that’s something I want to explore in my own life first. Lucas Hedges
In the beginning, I would find a character I understood. That was my focus. Not now – but you basically get offered the exact same thing you just did. Which I find hilarious. I did ‘The Vow,’ and then I had every love story you can imagine thrown at me. And now I’m getting offers for comedies. Channing Tatum
History is my passion. So I write what I love to read. I find that if I combine history with a strong, sensual romance, it is like a one-two punch. The reader doesn’t want the history without the romance, and of course the heavier the history, the more it has to be leavened with a sensual, all-consuming love story. Virginia Henley
‘Brahmotsavam’ is a love story set in a family backdrop… It’s all about relationships people have on different levels. Mahesh Babu
A sane person would think that Wal-Mart would never carry ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’ because it’s simply not in their best interests to inform their customers of their shady past. Michael Moore
Probably Lloyd in ‘Say Anything’ is the closest to me – or to who I was at the time. It was just a great love story about people in the ’80s, and we all tried to make it feel as real as possible. It was such a wonderful time. We didn’t leave anything in the gym; we put it all out there. John Cusack
I tried to stick to my game plan, which was always being aware of what my A story was – the love story between a father and his son, and that son and his daughter. Ted Demme
‘Warm Bodies’ is a love story: a zombie-human being love story. And people are comparing it to ‘Twilight,’ but I think it’s three times better. It has a comedic twist to it as well. Cory Hardrict
‘Out of Sight’ is one of my favorite films ever. Love Steven Soderbergh. ‘Goodfellas’ was a huge influence on me in terms of the use of camera. ‘Black Orpheus,’ a beautiful love story that very few people actually have seen, and that was an influence on ‘Beyond the Lights,’ too, in terms of the look of the film. Gina Prince-Bythewood
The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender. Emil Ludwig
I think the reason ‘Sexy Beast’ was so good was it wasn’t just another run-of-the-mill gangster film; it was a love story. Ian McShane
I think, for a love story, the most important element is the music, since you don’t have action sequences or item numbers. It really draws in the audience and adds to at least 70 percent of the opening of the movie. Ranbir Kapoor
‘Comfort Me with Apples’ is a love story, or better, two love stories. And since it deals with a later period in my life, most of the people who appear in it are living. Ruth Reichl
Slobberknocker: My Life in Wrestling’ is really not a wrestling book. It’s a book about life, and there’s a great love story in this book. There are great life lessons in this book about not allowing others to define you. Jim Ross
If you look at the Bible as a whole, it’s redemptive and beautiful, and it’s God’s love story to mankind. Tom Shadyac
I read ‘Rebecca’ when I was a teenager and was swept away by the powerful voice, the gut wrenching suspense and the dark, twisted love story at its center. Lisa Unger
Success is like a liberation or the first phrase of a love story. Jeanne Moreau
‘Love Story’ I wrote on my bedroom floor in about 20 minutes. Taylor Swift
There just isn’t only one love story in our lives. Kayleen Schaefer
I think ‘Ek Chhotisi Love Story’ has really damaged me. People think they can compromise my reputation and get away with it. Manisha Koirala
I definitely would like to do something serious. Not like a love story, but serious like maybe a gangster or a mobster. A gang or a mob movie would be great. Jason Mewes
To wrap up the idea of ‘Parade’s End’ in a sentence or two, I would say it’s a love story in which we see a man with two women, and we know what’s attractive about them. And we know why and what they feel about him. Tom Stoppard
What’s hardest for me to swallow is when there is a love story, say, with a really high-profile male star and there’s no reason I can’t play the part. They say, ‘Oh, we love Halle, we just don’t want to go black with this part.’ Halle Berry
In this one book are the two most interesting personalities in the whole world – God and yourself. The Bible is the story of God and man, a love story in which you and I must write our own ending, our unfinished autobiography of the creature and the Creator. Fulton Oursler
‘Puffball’ is a love story… no, it’s a life story. Nicolas Roeg
It is a political thriller. It’s very action packed and it’s very exciting, but at the same time it’s a very big soulful love story about longing and loss. They’re not separate, they’re completely dependent on one another. Rachel Weisz
I don’t watch television, but I saw ‘The Office’ by accident. I thought it was so sophisticated, the Victorian love story, and so bold. We’d do anything, all of us, to not work in that environment, and then I’m sitting there watching hours of it. Val Kilmer
I also wanted to do something that I hadn’t really seen in almost any black novels, which was a complex love story in which both people were extremely intelligent and talented and understood a lot of things and were still at odds getting it together. Stanley Crouch
Yes it’s true, I am making ‘Tere Naam 2’ which is a love story. Satish Kaushik
The Browning love story? It is an ideal, all too rare, and yet I hardly think it strange. It would have been far stranger had the fates allowed those two brilliant passionate souls to beat themselves out in silence. Marie Corelli
Every love story needs a catalyst of some sort. Ian Somerhalder
The bones of the story of ‘War Horse’ is a love story. That’s what makes it universal. Steven Spielberg
When you are bringing a love story to screen, how do you embody desire and love? How do you get away from the conventions of romantic comedy where it’s love at first sight? Celine Sciamma
I love story songs because I’ve always loved books. Dolly Parton
I am very happy to design haute couture. It’s a love story between couture and me. Yves Saint Laurent
It’s a different thing to write a love story now than in the time of Jane Austen, Eliot, or Tolstoy. One of the problems is that once divorce is possible, once break-ups are possible, it can all become a little less momentous. Mona Simpson
I laughed all the way through Love Story. Paul Lynde
‘Under the Poppy’ is the love story of Istvan and Rupert, lovers and friends from childhood, who’ve been parted by jealousy – and a secret betrayal by Istvan’s sister, Decca, who also loves Rupert, with whom she runs the brothel called Under the Poppy, where the floozies cater to every taste from saucy to peculiar. Kathe Koja
‘Naach’ doesn’t have any of the traditional, conventional ingredients of a love story. Ram Gopal Varma
‘Out of Africa,’ Dinesen’s second book, is a love story, though not the one portrayed by Streep and Redford in the film. The memoir is about Dinesen’s love of East Africa – the cultures, the landscapes, the animals. The feeling that saturates the book is reverence. Joanna Scott
A famous love story is hard to maintain when you both live in the spotlight. Lauren Bacall
I had written a book that dealt with really serious issues. Was anybody going to want to read a Christmas love story from me? Jay Asher
I really don’t like when things are all polished and perfect – the perfect love story and the hair is perfect. Marisa Tomei
I’ve only read two books in my life: Baseball Sparkplug and Love Story. George Brett
I love movies. And I dig a great love story: the kind that wrecks me, then builds me back up and leaves me inspired. I write what I want to see. Gina Prince-Bythewood
It’s very important to not repeat yourself. After ‘Delhi Belly,’ I was offered 40 ‘Delhi Belly’s and you can’t do that! So ‘Revolver Rani’ is dark and gritty with action, ‘Sooper Se Oopar’ is a big commercial love story, ‘Santa Banta’ is a ‘theth’ Punjabi comedy, ‘Golu Aur Pappu’ is a kids’ film and ‘Amit Sahni Ki List’ is an urban romcom. Vir Das
My favorite movie is ‘Closer’ and ‘Love Story.’ Shelley Hennig
My book, ‘Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda,’ is a gay love story. It’s also a story about friendship. Quite honestly, it’s also probably a 320-page product placement for Oreos. Becky Albertalli
One of the pillars of ‘Cyrano’ is recreating a love story and, like any archetype, these great stories tend to be captivating, among other things, because they are made of those universal things that move us. Edgar Ramirez
Our job is to represent the truth of human nature, whether you’re playing a tender love story that’s set in a coffee shop or whether you’re in ‘The Avengers,’ which is set in a Manhattan which is exploding. Tom Hiddleston
I’m always a sucker for a love story. Sofia Coppola
‘The Museum of Innocence’ is not about politics; it’s a love story, but I think it’s political in the sense that it wants to capture how a man suppresses a woman. Orhan Pamuk
A love story, at least a convincing one, requires three elements – the lover, the beloved, and the adventures they have together. Jane Smiley
‘Harold and Maude’ was a seminal movie for me because it’s not only a beautiful love story, but it’s also about the moment when misfits find each other. Stephen Chbosky
It was a strange love story from the beginning. I could see Jean-Luc was looking at me all the time, and I was looking at him too, all day long. We were like animals. Anna Karina
