Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon. He never went to medical school and he became one of the great teachers of medicine himself people are just amazed.

I wanted to go to medical school. But I never got a college scholarship.

I have written two medical novels. I have never studied medicine never seen an operation.

I regret to this day that I never went to college. I feel I should have been a doctor.

When a man goes through six years training to be a doctor he will never be the same. He knows too much.

Whenever a doctor cannot do good he must be kept from doing harm.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 years. I made up my mind that that was never going to happen to me again. I made a brave step to walk out in a society when you didn't walk out of an abusive marriage. It was mental and physical abuse.

I've never really been very good at marriage. It's one of my failures. I've tried my best but I do realise the common denominator is me it's something I'm doing.

A good businessman never makes a contract unless he's sure he can carry it through yet every fool on earth is perfectly willing to sign a marriage contract without considering whether he can live up to it or not.

All I know is it destroyed my family it destroyed my marriage to Sylvester and I will never get over it.

I've never understood what the upside of marriage would be for me personally.

I have a lady she's a great lady. I love her a lot she loves me. We're on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we're not on the same page we'll move forward with it. We're interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person's vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.

I routinely never discuss my marriage. It's nice to have things in my life that are totally mine.

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.

You never go into a marriage expecting to get divorced. You go into a marriage expecting it's going to last forever and you have a lot of ways you dream about the future. You have all these expectations and then you have to adjust those expectations and it can be a very unnerving confusing time.

I've never quite understood why people marry marriage is just an invented structure.

I say I never wanna get married. I feel trapped with the idea of marriage. How can you really be with somebody forever? I'd get bored! As I get older I don't settle. I'd rather tell somebody 'This is what I want - take it or leave it.'

Each marriage has to be judged separately and we never know what's going on in another person's marriage.

I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part these communications took place before my marriage though some have sadly took place after. To be clear I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.

I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage which is going on 14 years I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead I think of more like 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy we talked for hours. It was a relief really.

I never thought my marriage could be stronger or I could be closer to Bill. We prayed on our own but now we prayed together and you'll never know how much that means until you do it.

I have never been given to envy - save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily.
