The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Somebody who has been in a very bad wreck is going to be very conscientious about not speeding through a yellow light... You just learn so many good lessons when you go through a failed marriage.

Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like.

I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.
