I’m getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage.
It’s harder and harder to make a well-done romantic comedy these days because the conventions have been so played out.
People say the ‘Lost Generation’ in a romantic sense, but I think it was tragic. They were really lost.
The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.
I’m no romantic, surfing, California boy. I like reading, writing, philosophizing. Scheming. I’ve been doing some exploration of the inner space.

I love romantic comedies.
