Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

I am not very good with relationships. With anyone. I can’t be locked up with anyone for too long.

I went to a general store. They wouldn’t let me buy anything specifically.

I make friends faster and easier than journalists.

When we quarrel, how we wish we had been blameless.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.

When I think of the love I feel for each member of our family, I sense, to a slight degree, the love that our Heavenly Father bears for His children.

Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

A friend is, as it were, a second self.

I’ve learned that usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am.

Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.

It has been hard for me to find it, but I have found love.

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.

Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.

People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.

My partner Donald Trump says that married couples should always have a prenuptial agreement. True, a prenuptial is important if one partner is much richer than the other before marriage, but Kim and I don’t have one.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

Most people would rather give than get affection.

Patience is key for getting over a breakup. That, and trailing off your interaction after the breakup.

I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers.

People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.

I just have a thing in my brain that when I’m about to do something that’s genuine or authentic, I think of it in song form. I’ll be like, ‚Yo, this is a human emotion that no one talks about.‘

People like to hear the word ‚love.‘

I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don’t know if it’s possible forever and ever.

I was extremely lucky that I had two great wives. It sounds a bit funny to say that, but it’s absolutely true.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

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

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

We do not judge the people we love.

Is it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything – to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby?

I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

Most of the time, I’m not even working; I’m just helping people, because I feel that I am too lucky.

Cry if you have a compound fracture, by all means. Or if your grandpa died. But otherwise, save it for your pillow.

The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne.

There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving – by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don’t know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

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

Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

Any experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

Better to be occasionally cheated than perpetually suspicious.

Whatever I’m feeling, whatever I’m going through, whatever mood I’m in… If I’m feeling like dancing or clubbing, then it will be reflected in the music. If I’m feeling dark and vulnerable, then it will reflect in the music, too.

There are so many emotions that you’re feeling, you can get stifled by them if you’re feeling them all at once. What I try to do is take one moment – one simple, simple feeling – and expand it into three-and-a-half minutes.

There is a boundary to men’s passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.

The more successful I become, the more I need a man.

He that overvalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

Then, when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

I lost some of my friends because I got so famous, people who just assumed that I would be different now. I felt like everyone hated me. That is the most unhappy time of my life.

It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved.

I can’t go out with a Republican.

It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.
