I'm very romantic.

And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.

I prefer love over sex.

I really want to fall in love.

We all feel love, and that might sound kind of corny, but I really feel that's what joins musicians together around the world.

Realistically, English is a universal language; it's the number one language for music and for communicating with the rest of the world.

Love is one of my main inspirations.

Yes, I have made a woman cry.

I'm a good person, but with many defects.

I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.

I'm very romantic.

My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.

When I'm in love, I wake up happy.

I always respect a woman.

Yeah, exactly, you can talk about politics in music, you can talk about something else, but that's always going to change, and love is never going to change.

I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.

Being anxious is the worst feeling in the world.

I don't like being lied to, so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies, basically.

I don't sleep much. It takes me a long time to fall asleep. I'm a bit of an insomniac but, when I fall asleep, I don't ever want to wake up.

I know it sounds corny, but when you follow your dreams, it happens. And if it's music, take it seriously.

I love what I do, and I think I've appreciated it more throughout the years, but just to keep on traveling, keep on doing shows, and hopefully making better albums. That's always my goal.

I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.

I'm quite grounded.

I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.

If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.

If you're buying an album because of the face on it, you're stupid.

My best personality trait that I think I'm very approachable. And my worst is that I can be moody.

The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.

The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.

There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.

I dont like being lied to so I only lie about the stupid things. White lies basically.

Consider what a romantic expedition you are on; take notes.

A handful of older, romantic leading men, like Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, and Robert Redford are still landing parts.

Are you kidding? I'm a terrible cook, but John is a really great one. Literally, I never cook. The whole time we were dating, I prepared two officially romantic meals. Both of them were such disasters that he begs me never to go into the kitchen again.

The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.

I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.

I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe.

But other vampire stories? Well, no, I really haven't read too many, and I can't say I'm crazy about romantic vampires anyway - to me the vampire is simply an evil monster.

I'm a hopeless romantic, and very much the person in a relationship to go: If things are going well, I'll buy the flowers, remember the dates of things, plan fun nights out.

I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a reporter. I don't know where I got the idea that it was a romantic calling.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.

Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one.

Am I a romantic? I've seen 'Wuthering Heights' ten times. I'm a romantic.

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.

After these three novels I gave up writing novels for a time; I was dissatisfied with romantic doom, yet didn't see much way around it.

I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.

I believe that when you're in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I'm an incurable romantic when it comes to men.

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.

Personally, I can't see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four-color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour.
