I kind of feel like God took away Metro Station and the greatness there so I could settle down and have my love life.
Surely, marriage is throwing anchor and saying, 'This is where I'm staying. I've made my choice, and this is all I want because I've been on the up and down escalator, through the revolving door, and I want to stand still.' That's what I expected.
I love traveling all over the world; but it's true: there's nothing like home.
A lot of relationships have ended for me in my 20s, because I knew that eventually those people would wanna settle down and have kids.
Maybe in my 20s I was a little more lively. But I'm done with that.
'The Simpsons' was about children and married parents; 'Futurama' is about people in between; they're growing up and haven't settled down. Every other cartoon show seemed to be, you know, dumb dad, bratty kids.
That’s one of the reasons I never wanted to get married. The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.
Unfortunately, my love life is nil. I'm working too much - but I would like to settle down at some point.
I feel a man, when married, becomes more balanced. All the extra-curricular activities are done away with. The focus is on work and family.
I don't want to be tied down. I don't want to settle down. I don't want I love you.
Men's magazines in the period immediately after World War II were almost all outdoor-oriented. They were connected to some extent in the male bonding that came out of a war... And what I tried to create was a magazine for the indoor guy, but focused specifically on the single life: in other words, the period of bachelorhood before you settle down.
People should watch out for three things: avoid a major addiction, don't get so deeply into debt that it controls your life, and don't start a family before you're ready to settle down.
I have been tamed. My party days are well and truly behind me.
I've spent a lot of time being bohemian and sleeping on floors, but eventually I want to have kids and I want to bring them up in a secure environment.
The more settled I've become, the more problematic my characters have become. There was a period when I wrote sensitive and gentle songs and these came at a time when life was at its most destructive. I think you write about what you need, on some level.
I miss my friends in London, and I really miss New York. But I also miss the stability of staying in one place and being able to just open a drawer if you've run out of sticky tape and chuck a new roll in the holder.
Getting married and settling down isn't the most important thing in my life.
I've always been the long-term relationship, go-home-and-meet-mom girl.
I'm getting all domesticated. I feel like Susie the homemaker.
When are you ever settled enough to have kids?
One day I will settle down, when I have achieved everything I wanted.
Nor for my peace will I go far, As wanderers do, that still do roam, But make my strengths, such as they are, Here in my bosom, and at home.
I don't think I'm destined to be the eternal bachelor.
I'd love to meet the right girl and have a family. I'm very broody.
The other thing is I don't want to move any more. I have moved so many times in my life.
