What makes a woman beautiful is her loyalty to and her friendships with other women and her honesty with men.

I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week if there is anything to be got by it.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

Honestly being a doctor could make you more close minded than regular people.

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past it is a therapy of sorts but to be honest my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.

To be honest marriage doesn't scare me and that it's just once you've been together for so long if you haven't got any kids it's just a big expensive day out for everyone else to enjoy isn't it?

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.'

For the life of me I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

Let us be honest with each other. The threat to marriage is not the gays. It is a lack of loving commitment - whether it is found in the form of neglect indifference cruelty or adultery to name just a few manifestations of the loveless desert in which too many marriages come to grief.

Our marriage is grounded in the word of God. That's really it. God is the core of our marriage and the foundation and the blueprint for it is how we live and being open and honest and communicating but ultimately doing what pleases God and not in a selfish manner.
