"I’m still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive." ― Brit Marling Topic(s): Romantic More From Brit Marling "I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don’t have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I’m blowing out candles gives me hives." "I feel like I’m a much better person when I’m developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where I’m just working on my analytical mind." "We put limitations on the way that we think about things, on ourselves, think about all the boxes we live in, male or female, you’re this age, that age, this is your job, this is not your job, everything is about getting boxed in." More In Romantic "The thing about romance and romantic movies is that they can be somewhat melodramatic. For a lot of actors, there’s a certain cringe factor that’s involved with that."― David Lyons "In our romantic groves I adored her like a divinity."― Anne Boyd "Basically, I’m a romantic."― Pia Zadora
