I guess because the shows were activist in their own way - the marriage of my public activism and my career activism you know - people understand me very well. They also understand there's a very strong bipartisan part in all of this.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy we talked for hours. It was a relief really.

I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing. The idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal.

I went nearly 30 years without being able to really seriously entertain marriage or a family. In fact the word 'marriage' would actually give me a shake when it was brought up.

The great secret of a successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents and none of the incidents as disasters.

What is fascinating about marriage is why anyone wants to get married.

I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.

To me marriage is partly a religious thing and I'm not religious.

Marriage ain't easy but it's great most of the time.

I never thought my marriage could be stronger or I could be closer to Bill. We prayed on our own but now we prayed together and you'll never know how much that means until you do it.
