Bias has to be taught. If you hear your parents downgrading women or people of different backgrounds, why, you are going to do that.

Believe in something larger than yourself…get involved in the big ideas of your time.

You have to love your children unselfishly. That is hard. But it is the only way.

Some people give time, some money, some their skills and connections, some literally give their life’s blood. But everyone has something to give.

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

If somebody put a loaded gun to my head & said call your wife the “c” word, i would just tell them to shoot cause it s a quicker death!

This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt

It’s very easy for me to thank everyone for the incredible contribution they’ve made to my life.

It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it’s debilitating.

Relationships are truly like a garden, if you tend it, water it, weed it and feed it, it will grow into a beautiful garden. If you only go out there every few weeks to look it over for a few moments, what do you think it’s going to look like in a few months? It’s going to be a weed patch. It will disappear.

You don’t have to love everything a person does to love that person.

You know the funny thing, I don’t get along with rich people. I get along with the middle class and the poor people better than I get along with the rich people.

My boyfriend and I live together, which means we don’t have sex-ever. Now that the milk is free, we’ve both become lactose intolerant.

No one has done a study on this, as far as I can tell, but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out. We didn’t create that – society was generally ready for that. I think this is just part of the general trend that we talked about, about society being more open, and I think that’s good.

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

I never felt I was too protective. I felt I was functioning as a dam against the river of sh*t that comes pouring down on artists, and it was a job that I took very seriously.

It isn’t about how tall you are or how good-looking you are or whether or not you can play football. It’s about whether you can create a relationship.

[On hooking up romantically with co-stars] It’s understandable. You’re in situations with an actress where you’re supposed to be intimate, physical, and vulnerable with each other, and sometimes feelings get crossed. It’s like you’re away at summer camp and it seems to make sense, but when you go back home, the reality is that it may not be a situation you want to be in.

Never put more in a relationship than you can afford to lose.
