I come from a very illustrious line of divorces. We love to get divorced in my family. My mother and father have been married four times each - eight ceremonies with the best of intentions.

I was obsessed with work in my youth. It's why I didn't get married until I was 38 and the reason I didn't have kids.

Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don't get married, I don't get divorced.

Kids today don't want to get married. Too many of their friends have been married and divorced already. They just don't believe in it.

She hated the old woman who had twisted her so in the name of love. Most humans didn’t love one another nohow, and this mislove was so strong that even common blood couldn’t overcome it all the time.

I come from a wonderful family. My mother was a pianist and my father was a salesman. They were very middle-class, very middle-Western.
