It was brief, swift, and then it was done. It was a professional job. I needed to be kissed, and I was kissed.

When I was first going through my separation, someone said to me, 'It will take you half as long as you were in the relationship before you'll feel better.'

More than just romantic comedy, I like romances: drama romance, romance comedy, comedy romance. I also go to the movies to escape. There are times when you go to learn, when you go to be moved, you go to be transported, and there are really times when you go to escape. And I personally escape more happily into a romance than I do violent movies.
