— David Shields
I think the core of fans' relationship is one that vacillates schizophrenically and mercurially from reverence to resentment.

When one is the type of writer who cares about the meaning of the historically specific setting, the history itself is not something that I would call backdrop.

Sometimes I'm not good at it.

— Karan Johar

The man is meant to be the alpha in the relationship on the money and power front.

— Ani DiFranco
If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

— Katherine Jenkins
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.
— Stephen Fry
I'd like to say that I'm a rock star, but I'm not - I'm honestly more of a relationship kind of guy. I'm a guy you could take home to meet your mum rather than a guy your mum wouldn't like.

My husband and I have known each other since kindergarten. I had a crush on him in school, but we never dated.

And there's a safety in that.

Even if you want it to be, it just doesn't work out that way.
— Rozonda Thomas
If Obama came by his liberalism in the faculty lounge, then sure, he can see it hasn't worked, and he can modify it. But if Obama got his formative ideas when he was very young, and if they are the result of his traumatic relationship with his father, then they are built into his psyche.

— Sylvia Day
I'm kind of a rebound junkie. So. when a relationship goes sour, I look at the sweetness in life elsewhere. So, I date a bit. The best catharsis is to write jokes and tell 4,000 people about it.

Yes, I don't believe that the inter-Korean relationship has, quote, 'deteriorated' since I assumed office.

I don't know if there is a 'lack' of good black men. But when you haven't taken the time to get to know yourself, be OK with you, and articulate what it is you want in a relationship, then you can't possibly find that person for you because you don't even know what you're looking for.
— Keshia Knight Pulliam

— China Mieville
The grief of losing my father has come in waves over the years, as it does with most people. His love and devotion as a father provided my closest, most intimate relationship.

It makes people relate to him.

— Michelangelo Antonioni
There's never been a game plan, and I suppose I've had an uneasy relationship with my ambition.

— Jennifer Ehle

— Jim Hunt

Having girlfriends is... I can't do it. It doesn't mean I don't hang out with girls. It just means that I don't like being in a relationship, because it makes things very complicated.
