I love marriage. I failed at marriage but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.

Homosexuality is against nature. Sexual expression is permitted only within marriage between man and woman male and female. Anything else is an abnormality and is against nature.

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.

I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar and my fans would not respect me if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other we have fun together - it's great.

I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.

There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.

I say to people who care for people who are dying if you really love that person and want to help them be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.

A poet is before anything else a person who is passionately in love with language.

Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters?

Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love you'll never make it.
