"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.'"

"The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That's not hard to do even when you're juggling insane careers and three kids."

"My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players, bands that play quiet, unassuming music, and TV shows that win awards. In that way, I am an elitist snob."

"I actually don't know anyone who wants to be famous for fame's sake, at least not anyone I respect. But you need to have a certain amount of power in order to be able to do what you want."

"The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do."

"The security and the future of Jordan is hand-in-hand with the future of the Palestinians and the Israelis."

"I realize how talented our hair and wardrobe people are every time I have to get dressed on my own."

"Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure."
