Well, because we're so different as people. And it's that difference that probably also makes it easy to stay together, because we don't get in each others way.

A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship.

Too many couples break up without understanding the consequences for their families.

I think when a couple stays together, it's because of compromises they've both made.

The public doesn't mind people living together without being married, providing they don't overdo it.

But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it.

When you spend seven years with a group of people and suddenly you're not together, it's very jarring.

There's the right person, or right people, for each other. There is that order that's searching to be found but, I think, it's not as if everything is going to be automatic. So, people could really be meant for each other and its goes awry; or they could have to learn or develop and grow up together. Grow to be right together.

There has to be a social commitment, a social consciousness that joins men together. On the basis of their coming together, they do not transgress against themselves and they do not transgress against others.
