I think I wanted to write a book about the relationship between the victim and perpetrator in which the victim agrees to remain silent.

In order to satirize adequately I think you need to bring people down to Earth and be like 'Yeah these people drink coffee and have tummy troubles and they go to the bathroom like anybody else and they all have relationship problems if they even have relationships.'

There's such an extreme feeling to be in love especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship where you're both kind of really bad for each other but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions I think can only be described with extreme imagery.

I think that the fact that a relationship becomes public is a bit of a bummer. Because it can distract from the real reason why you're together which is that you just like each other.

But I think the real tension lies in the relationship between what you might call the pursuer and his quarry whether it's the writer or the spy.

I don't think the relationship between novels and realities are one to one. Of course novels play different roles. It's essentially just a long narrative form. What you use that long narrative form for can be very different.

But I think there's something wonderful and extraordinary about climbing on your own and just that kind of relationship to the environment. I'm very addicted to the mountains. You know so I do like that solitude.

I have a much better relationship with the press than I did I think because I stood my ground.

All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.

I think every relationship has a point where you stop and reevaluate. Are you happy? Have you grown together or apart? What do you share interests in? I think that's a normal thing to do but it's so much harder when it's done publicly.

It's a very difficult thing losing a parent but I think there's an added complication for me because he was so well-loved and he had this very open charm that made people feel they had a personal relationship with him.

The thing that stood out above and beyond all the experiences was this relationship with the nine-month-old baby. On weekends I'd be thinking about going back to set on Monday just to see the baby.

The establishment wonders why we can't get more of the black vote. It's because it's not doing the things necessary to establish a deeper relationship with the black community. Most black people don't think alike. Most black people just vote alike.

There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen but there are some characters you really create a relationship with almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them.

I think if you're in a committed relationship unless you have some sort of an understanding monogamy is something that should exist.

I'm not really a relationship expert but ...I'm an expert on manhood and what men think.

The whole of science and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here and how do you fit in and what's it all about.

In finding love I think it's important to be patient. In being in a relationship I think it's important to be honest to communicate to respect and trust and to strive to give more than you take.

I think at some stage I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.

I do not think that Mulder trusts any one other than Scully. He s very solitary. She is the only one who takes him seriously. I don t know if they re in love. In a way their relationship is deeper than that because they cannot live without each other.

I think the most important thing in life is self-love because if you don't have self-love and respect for everything about your own body your own soul your own capsule then how can you have an authentic relationship with anyone else?

Yeah we pretty much had a form and a shape by that time - a style - and I think one of the advantages of not having any relationship to any other puppeteer was that it gave me a reason to put those together myself for the needs of television.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go wants to feel like it's not all for naught and it's meaningful because it makes you who you are.
