Quote

Family or love or romance, whatever it is, is not restricted to perfect people. If it were, it wouldn't exist. All of that comes out in my work in some way.

Every one of us is a perfect human being, deformed by the family, the society and the culture.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises, but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.

We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.

Human attention tends to be focused on the satisfactions relationships are hoped to bring, precisely because somehow they have not been truly satisfactory. And if they do satisfy, the price of this satisfaction has often been found to be unacceptable.

We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

I really want people to understand that nobody is perfect and that things happen in life beyond our control.

I am human. I don't think I ever put myself out there to be somebody that was perfect. I put myself out there as somebody who wanted to serve the public.
