It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.

---

It is technically a failure when you don't try.

---

I think that life force is invaluable.

---

When I was first going through my separation, someone said to me, 'It will take you half as long as you were in the relationship before you'll feel better.' And I wanted to knock them out cold across the table. Because, of course, I was in agony. And the last thing I wanted to think was that I was going to stay that way for a long time.

---

You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

---

I'm very happy at home. I love to just hang out with my daughter, I love to work in my garden. I'm not a gaping hole of need.

---

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

---

Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.

---

It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.

---

Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
