'Mistresses' is about the lives of four women, each going through different versions of infidelity. Their longtime friendship is what gets them through extremely challenging times.

If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust.

Mistresses are like books; if you pore upon them too much, they doze you and make you unfit for company; but if used discreetly, you are the fitter for conversation by em.

People want to be entertained when they watch dramas. 'Mistresses' has a mixture of escapism and reality.

A mistress should be like a little country retreat near the town, not to dwell in constantly, but only for a night and away.

A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.

And I love the idea of spending the whole day in bed with my lover.

I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women... no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.

Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.

I have this mistress: show business.
