A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that’s subtraction!

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache!

A man in love is like a clipped coupon – it’s time to cash in!

Certain guys tell me they want women of substance, not beautiful models. It just means they can’t get beautiful models.

The only other person who has a clue about what this is, the good, the bad, is your partner.

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.

I don’t like anybody to be angry with me. I’d rather have friends.

My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem. But they don’t really know me.

Don’t base a relationship on sex. You need love, compassion and caring. Then sex can be a reflection of that.

Don’t confuse feelings with facts and don’t ignore facts when they come as feelings.

Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.

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

It isn’t about how tall you are or how good-looking you are or whether or not you can play football. It’s about whether you can create a relationship.

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

No one has done a study on this, as far as I can tell, but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out. We didn’t create that – society was generally ready for that. I think this is just part of the general trend that we talked about, about society being more open, and I think that’s good.

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.

If you’ve gone into a marriage and you haven’t been clear about how you’re going to handle money, how you want to raise kids, who is going to work or stay home or what have you, then you’ve set yourself up for failure.

A lot of people believe what other people say.
