I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what you want and it's important to be honest with your partner about what you need.

I wanted the ideal personal life, but I also wanted to keep rushing off, and that doesn't work, not unless you've got an incredibly understanding partner.

Most marriages recognize this paradox: Passion destroys passion; we want what puts an end to wanting what we want.

When you're with someone, you want everything to be great. And that's the pressure that you put on, and what you just can't do.

I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a partner and doing the things to have one. To protect ourselves, we have to say, 'I don't need one.'

If I get in a relationship, it's always for the long-term; if not, I don't see the point.

It's fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.

If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship.
