Don’t make me put your head in my blender!

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.

You don’t need a rope to pinch a stranger’s butt.

You are only as happy as your saddest child.

If you don’t know what it is you want – and I mean specifically – then you won’t even know when you have it.

Well, I’m not sure what pop psychology is, but I don’t like it.

There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.

I never felt I was too protective. I felt I was functioning as a dam against the river of sh*t that comes pouring down on artists, and it was a job that I took very seriously.

If I’m not interested in a woman, I’m straight-forward. Right after sex, I usually say, ‘I can’t do this anymore. Thanks for coming over!’

You can repeat the mistakes of your parents’ marriage or you can go out of your way not to repeat them.

I probably didn’t handle things as diplomatically as I should.

True friends stab you in the front.

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

It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.

You know, it’s possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.

A friend is a second self.

Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.

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.

I don’t understand how in my parents’ age, it was ’til death do us part, and in mine it’s ’til cheating do us part, ’til lying do us part, ’til chemistry do us part, ’til disagreements do us part, ’til boredom do us part, ’til cowardice do us part. I just want what my parents have, that part.

If I don’t have friends, then I ain’t got nothing.

I think I had the best of James [Taylor]. I mean, I was so in love with him. Not with blinders on – I was in love with him because he is a remarkable man, and he gave me a tremendous amount.
