Those of us lucky enough to fall in love with Asia know that it's an affair that's as long as it is resonant.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The cultural expectation should be if there's infidelity, the marriage is more important than fidelity.
In Asia, it's customary to get together with your entire extended family on a regular basis, and it's all rife with politics.
If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.
Clearly, the Chinese know that we want a good relationship with them.
You don't have to have lots of love affairs to know what love is.
I don't believe love has borders. If I meet a nice man in China, I definitely think it's possible.
In Asia, personal relationships are important, but you cannot personalise diplomacy.
Marriage Asian-style is practical, contractual and, to the western mind, deeply unromantic.
I have to make this love affair believable enough. It's very European.
The amount of love I get from India, from Pakistan, from Asia, from Persia, Malaysia - people are just like, 'Brown boy doing it, brown boy doing it!'
