I've always said a romance hero can be deeply flawed... as long as he's willing to rush into a burning building to rescue a basket of kittens.

I had a wonderful and very successful career in New York and had the privilege of working with some of the best editors and publishers in the business.

Even the geekiest of guys could get the girl if he read every romance novel that came out in any given month.

I've always said men should study romance novels to find out how women think and what they want, both during the courtship phase and in a lifelong partner.

We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.

People in day-to-day life tend to skim the surface of things and be polite and careful, and that's not the language I speak. I like talking about feelings, fears and memories, anguish and joy, and I find it in music.

In my comedy, I'm not always trying to say something, but when I'm playing a creepy dude, you're laughing because you know that creepy dude. You've heard that dude say something awful, and I'm just putting a little creative spin on it.

Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.
