I once read somewhere that, in any relationship, the one who cares the least is the one with all the power.

Sometimes we are only aware of how happy we are when the moment has passed. But now and again, if we are very lucky, we are aware of happiness when it is actually happening.

I don't think much of anything I wrote before the age of 30.

Love is what's left when being in love is gone, okay? It's when you care about someone and you hope they're happy, but you're not under any illusions about them. Maybe that kind of love is not exciting and passionate and all those things that fade with time. All those things that you're so keen on. But in the end it's the only kind of love that really matters.

When he was born, I looked at my little boy and felt an unconditional love I never knew was inside me. As he grew, and I watched him stagger about, squeak his first words, and turn into a beautiful little boy, that feeling did not change.

The most convincing argument against early parenthood is that you are in a relationship that is likely to fall apart before that child grows up.

People are always surprised at what a nice guy I am.
