I don't believe in men who make us feel unhappy, because they're boys, not men.
Many a marriage hardly differs from prostitution, except being harder to escape from.
You want a happy romantic relationship? Don’t ruin it by getting married.
I'm not a proponent of staying together and being miserable and damaged and coming through actually a more battered person.
I think it's quite common and realistic. There are many stories like this [in Waitress]. [Jenna, my character] marriage looks really horrible up on the screen but I think there are a lot of people in bad relationships who wake up and think to themselves: "Wow, how did I end up here? Why am I still here and so unhappy and not satisfied with my life?"
I've had enough boyfriends and enough issues. I'd seen enough train wrecks.
I look at life and I see some very happy relationships, but I also see the vast majority as not being that happy.
I've been in relationships where I've felt terribly alone. Just because you're with someone, it doesn't mean you're happy.
'Oh, Daddy,' was a remake of the Ritchie Valens' song 'Oh Donna,' and I really like that one because it's a story of a pregnant woman who was dumped by her baby daddy, but she was always waiting for him. It's a sweet-and-sour situation.
Some cry: 'Love me!!' Others: 'Don't love me!!' But a certain genus, the worst and most unhappy, cries: 'Don't love me and be faithful to me!!'
Y'know, even in a lot of heterosexual cinema it's always kind of miserable. Love doesn't work and then, if it does work, it's suddenly a rom-com.
I think I subconsciously put myself in these situations where the girlfriend isn't pleased with me. I'm useless as a boyfriend. That's how I managed to write all these songs.
I think you have to pay for love with bitter tears.
Just to prove i was right that it's harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn't try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you're still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you.
I've always had horrible Valentine's Days.
I don't know, one out of every two marriages ends up in divorce so there's a lot of great people out there who people aren't happy with.
I have known a few good marriages, but very few. And others look to me like they're pretty miserable. I don't really think that's a recipe for happiness.
All men want their whores to be unhappy.
I think that the song 'Movin' On' can be a personal song. We've all been in relationships where we weren't necessarily happy.
I'm not a divorce monger by any means, but if you're not happy in a relationship, and you've grown apart, it's not healthy for a couple to stay together. It's better for kids to see two happy parents than two miserable parents.
I feel 'Ankahee' is a very honest film. It says that in a relationship where there are three people, everybody is doomed. Nobody comes out happy.
If you're unhappy in a relationship, I think you just don't trust yourself for getting into another one.
I never believed in the institution of marriage, because ever since I was young, I had only seen marriages fall apart, or remain stuck in a rut.
For some people, marriage may be very groovy. For me, it really isn't. I don't think it really is for most people anyway. Most people are not very happy.
Why do people stay in relationships that are tough from almost the very beginning?
