Give the love that you pray for; someone’s been praying to have it.

I’ve forever wanted a woman who loves like a soldier and fights like a poet. Always with unfailing faithfulness, always for the yearning in her heart.

My father, soft as rainclouds, my mother, hard as hail, prepared me to take the world by storm.

Sometimes I feel like a kid wanting nothing more than to squeeze you tight and call you mine.

You first.’ The only way love works.

Trust. Above all, I ask for trust. You won’t know every thought that crosses my mind, but just know that they’re all for us.

I never talk about my wife: we’re both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt.

You don’t have to love everything a person does to love that person.

Relationships are negotiated and if you deal with ultimatums and authority all the time, then you’re not going to get anywhere.

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything….Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.

Cherish your human connections – your relationships with friends and family.

Take it from a guy: If you’re in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You’re going to get to her somehow, some way.

Why do so many marriages fail? Because nobody gets taught how to be married. We’re not taught how to pick a mate, or why to pick a mate; we don’t know how to manage our emotions once we’re in a marriage; we don’t know how to resolve marital conflict. Married people have never been taught why they or their spouses feel the way they do and act the way they do. Nobody has ever taught us the fundamentals.

I do not believe in mixing of the races. You can quote me. I don’t believe in it, and I never have. I’ve never changed. I’ve never changed my hair. I’ve never changed my color, I have always been proud of myself, and my fans are proud of me for remaining the way I’ve always been. I married a white man one time, but he was a creep.

I have had young fascinations but never love.

It’s great if the in-laws themselves put up boundaries. But if they won’t; it’s up to their grown kids to do it and enforce them.

Sometimes if you’re lucky, someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who’s tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.
