I had never really dated. I've always been a relationship kind of person.

I think that to a very great extent we are partners with the divine in this enterprise called history. That is an ongoing relationship and there is absolutely no guarantee that things will automatically work out to our best advantage.

For me living in the closet corroded my ability to have an honest open relationship with my God my loved ones my constituency and myself.

Filming 'Eclipse' - Eclipse was my favorite book so I was really excited to start filming the movie. I just love that it's the height of the love triangle. 'Twilight' develops Edward and Bella's relationship 'New Moon' develops Jacob and Bella's and in 'Eclipse ' the three of them are physically together.

I've been working on my relationship with my parents and my sister over the years.

I can sort of do what I want. Maybe I have to work harder to prove myself in some new relationship because they've heard some wacky stories about me. But at least I can get the meeting.

It seems I have a hard time being attracted to someone unless I respect what they do on some level. Otherwise I would feel disdain for them. Which is not always pleasant in a relationship. Sometimes it's fun though.

I have a love/hate relationship with just about all technology in my life. My first typewriter in particular. I had a helluva time putting new ribbon on it.

Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very very well you go through the good times you go through the bad times. You know both personally but also within a relationship as well.

If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.
