"My vanity is I’m terribly romantic! But being married is lovely." ― Matthew Macfadyen Topic(s): Romantic More From Matthew Macfadyen "I was quite a shy child. I would get terribly nervous and throw up before my birthday party. And then I would be fine. I feel the same now. I get nervous, then it’s fine." "I don’t feel like a romantic lead; I guess I feel more like a character actor." "The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that you’re not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, you’ll make yourself unhappy, because life doesn’t work like that. So much is luck. It’s much better to let yourself off, to think, ‘There’s nothing I can do.’" More In Romantic "The poetry of heroism appeals irresistibly to those who don’t go to a war, and even more to those whom the war is making enormously wealthy. It’s always so."― Louis-Ferdinand Celine "I confess I am a romantic. I love romance, and I think it’s really fun and delicious and some of my favorite films are love stories. I think that you just get a chance to fall in love with the characters so much and you get to explore their lives so deeply."― Rachel McAdams "I was married when I was 17. I knew nothing. I was full of romance."― Gloria Swanson
