My first relationship was from when I was about 15 to 19. My second relationship was kind of like a rebound, but also a really important part of my journey - he was very emotionally manipulative and just wanted me to be an accessory.
I met my wife in Oxford, fell in love with her, and followed her to New York. I was an illegal there for the first few years, until we got married, so I ended up doing lots of interesting jobs, some for a few days, some for a few months.
If love is a dream, then marriage is the alarm clock.
No compass has ever been invented for the high seas of matrimony.
Being in a relationship is like being in A.A. My friends ask me, 'How's it going with that girl?' 'One day at a time, man.'
For a woman the objective is often a committed relationship also known as the destination. For a men the road trip on the way to the destination is often the most fun.
Marriage, if it is to survive, must be treated as the beginning, not as the happy ending.
Getting married is an adventure. Because when you're getting married, you're doing something you don't know anything about. Did you ever think of that?
There is a perfect someone, even if the road to that someone isn’t all that perfect.
It was there I met my future wife, Celeste Landry, although our lives took us separate ways for many years and we were not to marry until more than ten years later.
When you end up happily married, even the failed relationships have worked beautifully to get you there.
Marriage isn't a tram. It doesn't have to get anywhere.
I was single for a really long time, then I realized I had abandonment issues. Then I found love online.
You're so beautiful But that's not why I love you And I'm not sure you know That the reason I love you, is you Being you, just you Yea the reason I love you Is all that we've been through And that's why I love you
I've dated many different types. I was all over the map. For me, it was learning about being attracted to the right things in a person, not the wrong things.
It's not that I think weddings - or marriages - are letdowns. It's just that I want to see my wedding as one awesome achievement on a continuum of achievements, all of which were, in their way, just as beautiful and profound for having led me to the current one.
There's the right person, or right people, for each other. There is that order that's searching to be found but, I think, it's not as if everything is going to be automatic. So, people could really be meant for each other and its goes awry; or they could have to learn or develop and grow up together. Grow to be right together.
Dating is primarily a numbers game.... People usually go through a lot of people to find good relationships. That's just the way it is.
The road to love is full of danger signs.
An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."
In 2014, as a Christmas gift, I wrote an essay for my husband, about our story. Writing that showed me there was value in interrogating my experiences while they were fresh - especially because I was terrified of forgetting.
I was lucky enough to meet my husband very young - so, in some ways, we've grown up together.
In this wide world, I don't think that there's just one person for any of us. I think we look until we find one that feels right, and oftentimes, it works out just fine.
Looking for love is like asking for a new point of departure ... another chance in life.
The film [Sightseers] is really the story of the journey of a relationship, so the killings are almost a metaphor for the trials they go through. We wanted people to identify with the experience of going on holiday and having a quarrel with your wife, boyfriend, whatever. We knew if we didn't crack that it would not be watchable as a film.
