Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free … and realizing you were the prisoner.

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

The best present a man can give a woman is his undivided attention.

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.

I think when you get married, it’s not a totally free ride – it’s not without its unglamorous periods and its fights and its angry noons and silent dawns or vice-versa.

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

A bond as important as that of a husband and wife, is the bond between siblings.

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!’

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

Much healing can occur through the sexual act with a person you love and trust if the two of you can stay with each other during your most vulnerable moments. You enter into a sacred space, this unknown territory, from which you’ll emerge into new and unexpected states of being.

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.

If I was your wife Sir, I’d poison you! Madam, if you were my wife, I’d let you!

My dad used to say, ‘You wouldn’t worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

If I go into a club now, all the blonde girls leave my corner and all the black girls come into my corner. It’s as if I’m racist towards white girls!

From the first time I saw a picture of him, James Taylor was it — the ultimate Orpheus of all my fantasies.

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