Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers.

Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.

You know, my main reaction to this money thing is that it’s humorous, all the attention to it, because it’s hardly the most insightful or valuable thing that’s happened to me.

Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.

There’s only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I’ll get married again.

I didn’t have a father figure in the house.

I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past – I want it to be in the future.

He who hath many friends hath none.

I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.

Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.

MySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.

When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.

Really showing love requires more than just words.

I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.

Regarding marriage, it – somehow, it didn’t happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

One of the most terrible feelings in the world is knowing that someone else doesn’t like you. Especially when you don’t know what you’ve done to deserve it.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone; at other times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer.

A safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds.

I think we all change each other’s paths. I don’t know which law idea that is in physics, but I don’t think any of us can live without affecting one another.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.

If you treat people right they will treat you right… ninety percent of the time.

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

I definitely don’t think that money can buy you love. It can buy you affection but certainly not love.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we’ll fail, and sometimes we’ll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage, and that you’ll find support.

Marriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously.

A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

If I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.

I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.

Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.

American stuntmen are smart – they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance… But in Hong Kong, we don’t know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you’ve got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

I was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.

The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you’re making a mistake but let you go on with it, that’s when it ruins your mind state as an artist.

The wisest hustler can suddenly fall for the worst tramp and lose all of his money on her. The hustler is aware of his own weaknesses and openings to con. This awareness is his edge.

You know what, I’m very attracted to someone who makes me laugh and is that charming. Really, I could be charmed by anyone. I’m just a sucker for somebody that is charming.

Speak low, if you speak love.

People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

If you burn your neighbors house down, it doesn’t make your house look any better.

We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love – first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Because of a great love, one is courageous.

I know love is the answer.

Superman don’t need no seat belt.

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.

Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you’re listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

I think there are things that are based in your own dealings with someone that is a personal dealing, not a public dealing. Because you have personal experiences.

The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.

When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely – the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears – when you give your whole attention to it.

I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.
