We've all seen the mom who devotes all her time and attention to her child and is so hungry for adult interaction that as soon as she's around another adult she's not paying attention anymore.

When men hear women want a commitment they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome.

Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

There's not a lot of room anymore for what I call 'made-up' drama. The drama comes from real places now - marriage takes work and focus the kid stuff takes patience and commitment. And if you don't grow as people and as a couple within all of that then you've got some real drama.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

Now I'm a wife and a mother of two. It's a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage because that's what it's like to be together for so long and go through what we've been through. I can't really have that relationship with them anymore.

After a while in marriage it doesn't work anymore. There is something missing there is something wrong. There are few marriages that stay alive forever. We like something and after a while we hate what we used to love.

I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don't have to be nice anymore.

Bipartisanship isn't an option anymore it is a requirement. The American people have divided responsibility for leadership right down the middle.

Suffering it turns out demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.

My books are elegiac in the sense that they're odes to a nation that even I sometimes think may not exist anymore except in my memory and my imagination.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.

Joe Barbera's s always complaining that he can't get humor into cartoons anymore. Just do it. You've got your money. Why do they let the networks run their lives?

The myth of the liberal media empowers conservatives to control debate in the United States to the point where liberals cannot even hope for a fair shake anymore.

I don't want to hope anymore. I don't think we should hope anymore. We hoped enough. Now we have to do. We all have to do now.

I'm a better person in a relationship and I'm a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.

The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root it doesn't need its brain anymore so it eats it!

Before I had kids I'd go out on the road for months and months at a time but now I don't think I'd want to do that anymore because I'd miss too much time at home so it's just a matter of monitoring how much work that I do and how much time I'm on the road.

I have no idea how to get in touch with anyone anymore. Everyone it seems has a home phone a cell phone a regular e-mail account a Facebook account a Twitter account and a Web site. Some of them also have a Google Voice number. There are the sentimental few who still have fax machines.

The history of our country is cruel. We have to face those issues or should I say we had to. Not anymore I hope because we are going in the right direction and we are ready to forgive ready to move on.

But I don't want to be out there anymore I don't want people asking me about my health issues about my kids. I choose not to be a public paparazzi girl on purpose.

When I was on Broadway I got really sick with walking pneumonia. I decided not to take my health for granted anymore and make it a priority. The great thing is the pounds just started to fall off.

The mindset of chasing that next #1 record doesn't exist for me anymore. It's more about being a well-rounded entertainer than being a pop artist. Obviously it would be wonderful to have a hit record but I don't base my happiness on that anymore. It's about the accomplishment of a project that satisfies me. I just want to enjoy the ride.

Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.
