I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
Dating is really hard because everyone puts on a front. It's really difficult to see who is who, so it is important to be yourself.
I have never turned to my girlfriend and said, 'Oh, okay, babe,' and I see it in scripts all the time.
A man cannot tell whether a woman is in love with him or his security blanket until she is financially and psychologically independent enough to leave. Until a woman has learned how to leave, even she cannot be sure she has learned to love.
In a letter (no matter how quickly it is written or honestly or freely or lovingly) it is more possible to be loving and lovable, more possible to reach out and to take in ...

I don't just want someone who says they love me; I want someone who practices that love for me every day.

Have you ever heard of a good marriage growing in front of the cameras?
The minute our correspondence becomes obligatory, there's no point in keeping touch at all.
Do you think I'm wonderful? she asked him one day as they leaned against the trunk of a petrified maple. No, he said. Why? Because so many girls are wonderful. I imagine hundreds of men have called their loves wonderful today, and it's only noon. You couldn't be something that hundreds of others are.
You can't just show the pretty parts' when it comes to relationships. That's not how the world works, that's not how love works.
If I thought someone was just chatting me up because of being on TV, it'd kill me.
I think as humans we do want to control our relationships, and you can't. It's probably better that you can't. That wouldn't be a real relationship, and we'd never learn and grow.
