Colin Farrell believes in the power of love

Actor Colin Farrell believes that love helps the world go round.

The 37-year-old claims every relationship requires affection to keep it afloat, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I think the world would sink under the weight of its own more destructive aspects if it wasn't for love...Whether it's love between friends, between parents and their children, lovers, whatever it may be. So yeah, I do believe in the power of love," Farrell told Bang Showbiz at the premiere for his film "A New York Winter's Tale" here.

The "Total Recall" star insists he isn't particularly romantic.

Quizzed on the most romantic thing he's ever done, Farrell said: "I don't know, I'm too shy about those questions. I'm not going to talk about how romantic I am, which is just another way of saying I've never done anything romantic in my life."
