Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.

I was always interested in choreography – in making people think and feel something.

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

In order to have friends, you must first be one.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.

Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them.

It’s hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don’t always know who to call. So I am very close to my family.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Happiness is a hard master, particularly other people’s happiness.

Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

What good am I? I can’t have kids. I can’t cook. I’ve been divorced three times. Who would want me?

In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that’s called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country.

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.

When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, ‚Did you sleep good?‘ I said ‚No, I made a few mistakes.‘

I don’t dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it’s gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin‘ White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It’s connected to where you are today.

World War II broke out in 1939, and many people credit that war with saving the economy.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

I don’t have a type. I don’t have a specific kind of human being. It’s just kind of an X-factor of sorts. Everybody I’ve ever dated has been a case-by-case situation.

We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.

Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability.

There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

Most of us experience a life full of wonderful moments and difficult moments. But for many of us, even when we are most joyful, there is fear behind our joy.

Anxiety and spiritual searching have been consistent themes with me, and that figures into my worldview. But I tend to make my songs sound like relationship songs.

Where fear is, happiness is not.

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.

He who is not just is severe, he who is not wise is sad.

People are underestimating the force of angry kids.

I had this child, and it destroyed my family.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.

As I’m traveling around, I meet many small children. And when I look at a small and think how we’ve harmed this beautiful planet since I was that age, I feel a kind of desperation, anger, shame. I don’t know what I feel; I just don’t know what the emotion is.

I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.

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

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.

Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.

If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you.

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

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you’re in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life – you write about the mindset you’re in at that moment.

We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.

I’ve seen my friends take someone back after they’ve cheated because they fit perfectly.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

I’m not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.

I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me.

Women may fall when there’s no strength in men.

You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.

I mean… in life… what relationship is easy?

I’ve got a crush on my backing singer.

Talk well of the absent whenever you have the opportunity.

When we are in love we seem to ourselves quite different from what we were before.

Perfect friendship is the friendship of men who are good, and alike in excellence; for these wish well alike to each other qua good, and they are good in themselves.
