So often, I think, in these relationship comedies, they don't necessarily reflect the people that I know. They don't reflect myself.

I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been, too. I've seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel. At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.

It surprises me that more people don't take a look in the mirror a little more often and assess their own relationships.

It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.

There's this way pop culture has been rammed down our throats that people think that if they were just in the right place at the right time, they'd be married to Heidi Klum.

I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.

I'm hearing from fans about how they got out of an abusive relationship. That's why I tell people you've got to watch 'The Real.' We are about comedy and inspiration, but personal moments come up, and people are moved by it.

I think marriage is one of those things that writers draw on, one of those emotional reservoirs that go way back.
