In the beginning, I would find a character I understood. That was my focus. Not now - but you basically get offered the exact same thing you just did. Which I find hilarious. I did 'The Vow,' and then I had every love story you can imagine thrown at me. And now I'm getting offers for comedies.

I took the vow of celibacy in 1906. I had not shared my thoughts with my wife until then, but only consulted her at the time of making the vow. She had no objection.

Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.

I vowed I would do everything I could to stop the Isle of Man counting towards the world championship. And it was stopped, so they love me in the Isle of Man.

I believe in the vows that I took with my wife. Through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer.

Those that vow the most are the least sincere.

I got married because I wanted to do something that was more than I understood, because my feelings were more than I understood.

Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
