Quote of the Day: Daniel Radcliffe on his romanticism...

"I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up."
-- Daniel Radcliffe (via BrainyQuote)
