Everyone talks about the elusive thing with chemistry. If you have a romance on screen or anything, the first thing you have to do is become friends with the person. It's not necessarily about falling in love.

When you're in a relationship, if you just break it down to regular terms, people are attracted to something, and that's what they want you to be, and that's what you should just be, and for me, it's very simple - if I meet a girl and I say, 'This is what I like about you.

What I tell young couples that are getting married is: you're going to have quarrels, and on some things, you're just going to have to agree to disagree.

In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes.

Compatibility is an achievement of love; it shouldn't be its precondition.

You like someone, you court each other, you get into a relationship. You're answerable to each other. Whereas, the non-answerability of dating, my God, I don't know if I would ever be able to.

You can prepare a list of the qualities you would want in your ideal partner and fall in love with someone totally opposite.

Trust is important in any relationship, not just a romantic one.
