For me working on the marriage and not making the easy choice of cheating was something that I could not do.

Somewhere in my callow, misspent youth, I was smart enough to marry my best friend.

For me, I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn't do very well in school. The basic system of education, I didn't fit in; my intelligence was elsewhere.

I wasn't very ambitious. I really wanted to get married.

I should have been smart enough to stay happy. But my ambition ruled my life.

Another person who's smarter than I. What a relief to not have to be the smartest guy anymore.

I think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.

I wanted to be able to do things at my own pace, make mistakes and nobody would care.

It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.
