Rachel Weisz

It’s incredible watching my son grow up and learn to read, discover the world and test boundaries. Being a mum is the greatest joy of my life, definitely.

I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn’t care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don’t like people. It’s not at all like the relationship between horses and humans.

There’s a lot of contemporary actresses I admire, but there’s practically no one who’s made a color movie whose career I’d want … I don’t feel very modern at all.

I don’t want to wear high heels because I can’t run around with my son. So, for real life, I like to be in jeans and nice-cut shirts. I appreciate good tailoring.

I like the red carpet. It’s like acting because it’s like a fairytale.

I don’t believe your soul mate has to share your politics.

My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you.

What Michelle has done is to remind me every day of the virtues of order.

There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

I am a black American male from Chicago, who had my rehearsal dinner at Versailles and then got married in Florence with a view of the entire city.

Husbands and wives, first be faithful to each other. Second, keep the romance going all of your life by courting each other every day.

Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.

There’s no doubt I’m a better man having spent time with Michelle. I would never say that Michelle’s a better woman, but I will say she’s a little more patient.

Marriage is the best state for man in general, and every man is a worst man in proportion to the level he is unfit for marriage.

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

[on Michelle] After about 15 years I finally figured out that she’s always right!

It is a woman’s business to get married as soon as possible, and a man’s to keep unmarried as long as he can.

Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures.

If you were going to list the 100 most popular things that I have done as president. Being married to Michelle Obama is number one.

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.
