I'm quite jealous of my Scottish relations, in whose culture everyone, in a Jane Austen kind of way, got married very young, when you're too young to be cynical or jaded and just started having children.

I'm not a great believer in marriages as an institution, or even in very long term relationships. I'm not sure we're built that way.

Do I think human beings are meant to be in 40-year-long monogamous, faithful, relationships? No, No, No. Whoever said they were? Only the Bible or something. No one ever said that was a good idea.

I couldn't put my hand on my heart and say I think that being in a relationship is a natural state for a human being.

If you have a smothering parent, the effect it can apparently have on a child is to give them, in equal doses, a sense of too much self-esteem, because they are mummy's little princess or prince, and low self-esteem. It affects future relationships.

I look at life and I see some very happy relationships, but I also see the vast majority as not being that happy.

Equity is rarely given; it is claimed and the battle must be ceaseless for opportunity is never a last actuality, however a keeping developing procedure to ever more elevated degrees of human, social, monetary, political and strict relationship.

We've got gays working there. If they can demonstrate long-term relationships we make same-sex benefits available just as we do with common-law marriages. Gays are productive people. Some fly airplanes some work in breweries.

People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.

A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked not to be endured with patient resignation.

I think the personal relationships I established mattered in terms of what I was able to get done. And I did bring women's issues to the center of our foreign policy.

I have crushes on women all the time. I don't have intimate relationships with them but I find women beautiful.

I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day.

Relationships are made of talk - and talk is for girls and women.

Surely God on high has not refused to give us enough wisdom to find ways to bring us an improvement in relations between the two great nations on earth.

The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.

I'm not going to be in a relationship that I don't fully trust.

In any solid good relationship it takes a while to trust someone.

One of the challenges in networking is everybody thinks it's making cold calls to strangers. Actually it's the people who already have strong trust relationships with you who know you're dedicated smart a team player who can help you.

Various channels of dialogue must be kept open to build trust. I will meet North Korea's leader if it is needed to develop relations between the two Koreas.

I believe in singularity in relationships because you've got to have trust on both sides.

With fame you can't trust everybody. You can't depend on them being there for you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got you as a person. They will only be there because of what you've got and what you can bring to their life. It's not a relationship-it's a leech.

The last couple relationships I had were long distance. It's not like I can make much of an effort to travel and see anybody. The guy had to do all the work unfortunately.
