I don't know how to depict intelligence.

I think intelligence is totally subjective; it's like sexiness.

Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies.

There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of. I'll put one of those on and be puttering around the house. Then a certain scene will come on and I'll just have to go over and watch.

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

When I was pregnant, I had the romantic idea that after the baby was born I would not only take up reading in earnest again, but also write a novel while my daughter slept in her Moses basket. Of course, I barely had time to keep up with my magazines until she started sleeping properly.

I have more pet peeves than anybody: people talking in the movie theater, people eating in the movie theater loudly, people being rude, people making noise when you're supposed to be asleep, like drilling noises outside. I could be here all day.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to present at the Golden Globes, come home, whipped the dress off and read to my daughter wearing gazillion-dollar earrings. That's how it goes in my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm turned off by the groupie thing. I'm a romantic; I like finding the right woman, and if it works, it works.

Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.

I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It's really erotic; the spices are so sensuous.

I am very uncomfortable being romantic. I can be funny; I can be all over the place. I can be anything but romantic.

I am closest to my mother, as she is my rock, my pillar of strength, and my world. Not only has she stood by me through all times - happy, sad, and otherwise - but there have even been moments when I had completely lost hope, and her immense belief in me had lifted me up.

My emotions are usually my weakness, but they are my strength while acting.

Though films have established me as an actor, dance has given me an identity and a boost to my career, and I am thankful to God for that.

Himanshu and I travel together whenever possible, but there are times when I like to travel with my mother and maasi. It is really shocking that trolls comment on that, too. They say 'Don't you get along with your mother-in-law that you don't take her along?' Now, who would accept such remarks about one's mother?

Marriage has changed Himmanshoo in some ways. Throughout our 10 years of courtship, he was more liberal. But after marriage, he has become a typical Indian husband.

We have seen the most difficult times and were there to back each other. We have struggled, seen career highs and lows, and know we will be there for each other forever. We have together build our relationship strong. Himanshu is my biggest investment, and I can't let him go.

For me, the one relationship in my life that I cherish the most has to be the one I share with my parents, especially my mother.

I thought that losing weight by following a strict diet will make me more flexible and feel more confident about my body. I have become so used to the routine now and have fallen in love with my body that I would want to follow it forever.

I love kids a lot. I love to spend time with them. They give me the energy to live, and I would love to bring a smile on their faces.

I'm probably the furthest from being romantic that you've ever seen; I'm not even close to being romantic in any way until I have to be.

The guy comes up to the plate, there's always a chance where he can get a grand slam and everybody forgets about all the times he missed.

I am just like all the jerks and idiots you know. I am just a guy that watches sports all day.

There are so many different reasons as to why I love riding trains. But I think ultimately it's the romantic feeling of it. There's something about it that just transports me into old films.

It was funny actually because that was still during the time we were dating. He would get all these calls because supposedly before we broke up, we had already broken up in the trades, in the rags or whatever.

I tend to look out for things with a resonance to my youth - artists or objects that seemed romantic all those years ago. I never buy anything purely for its value. I like possessions that smile back at me.

It's the fashion, I tell you: big, tall women going out with tiny, tiny men.

I rent a Jacobean-fronted hunting lodge in Hampshire from the National Trust and like to go there as much as possible. I've grown to love it so much, especially when writing my memoirs there at weekends.

I love romantic comedies, or romantic dramas - basically anything with love in it.

Dating co-stars is natural. When you're working with someone, it's habit.

When a guy can make fun of you, thats attractive. Who knew that teasing could have so much power over women!

I love to make songs out of some of those shadows - you know, some of the things you lie awake thinking about, social anxieties and romantic insecurities and all that stuff.

The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity, part of his nation, part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.

My attitudes have changed, but somebody would have to read all my books to find out how they have.

My mum would say sometimes, 'Do you think you might be gay?' But it wasn't that. When I imagined myself in a romantic setting, it was heterosexual, but I was just always a girl.

The Internet gave me the sense that there were words to describe my feelings and medical terms.

I think as a filmmaker one should make all kinds of films. It is not that one should make only one kind of film. I love to see romantic films; I loved watching 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,' 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.' If I make such films, I will make it with my yardstick, according to my parameters.

I love Indian food, and my favourite dish is dal rice.

I am very romantic. In fact, I just renewed my vows... although it was with another woman.

I loved working on 'Happy Gilmore' because I love to travel to new places and we got to go to British Columbia. Any Adam Sandler film is fun to work on because it is a reunion of the boys club of guys that have worked together in the past.

A lot of baby boomers are baby bongers.

I play a lot of sports. I'm not real good at any of them. I'm above adequate.

I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.

Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.

The Ukrainian community is tight-knit by nature.

I don't have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.

I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.

Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up, we grow out of our haircuts, our apartments and - often times - our romantic decisions.

The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They'll pick eye color and hair color, all the way down to what she does for a living, what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day, dating is dating, because they're human beings.
