You can live without it, and you can totally be self-independent and happy. But you can also be in a great relationship that's rewarding and loving and caring - and that exists.

I think there is a price to being alone, and there is a price to being in a relationship. It all depends on which price you want to pay - but none of them are free.

I've learned that I need to appreciate time by myself and that I don't need a partner to complete me.

Having people I love around me - friends and family - is great, but I don't necessarily need a relationship.

I really don't like that modern notion of 'I don't need anyone.' I see a lot of young women feeling they have to be that way, they have to be hard, in a way. And what does that bring them? They're just going to be lonesome. They're going to be, at best, lonesome and capable, at worst, lonesome and hard. And is that what we want? No.
