I spent some time at White Memorial Medical Center as a senior medical student doing a rotation in surgery however I felt I wasn't getting enough time assisting.

I'd visit the near future close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon.

Listening to medical facts was not enough. People wanted one hundred percent guarantees.

I worked with John but I had enough sense to walk just a little ways behind him. I could have made more records but I wanted to have a marriage.

It's very trying on a marriage when you're doing a one hour show week after week after week. You don't have enough time for people that maybe you should have top priority.

I was one of 14 senators to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act. I thought it was a harsh and unnecessary thing to do to people across this country who care enough about each other to want to be married.

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them but this was my mother saying 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them fair enough.'

Who of us is mature enough for offspring before the offspring themselves arrive? The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.

I had a very wise person tell me that he thinks marriage when you're younger you keep thinking you can fix things. That's what people do. And you can't really fix anything. It shouldn't be a massive difficult thing every day. Life's difficult enough.

In a bad marriage friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends we may go on for years intending to leave talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving.
