I decided to take God and organized religion seriously and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.
I think our relationship with Epic had run its natural course and it happened to coincide with the fulfillment of our contract. We decided not to resign with them.
We have often been attracted to the story of the other the outcast. And he and I just loved working together so it just kept happening and our relationship is completely bound up with our work. We enjoy each other's art.
First of all returning from motherhood I was looking for something lighter and I wasn't as much attracted to Kate as I was to the relationship between the two people.
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 think that the fact that a relationship becomes public is a bit of a bummer. Because it can distract from the real reason why you're together which is that you just like each other.
When you think about it we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone touching someone doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.
When one has love for God one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife children relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
We say no to lots of things that would please us. I would like to punch people every now and then but I don't. I would like to have something for free rather than pay for it. I would like to skip to the front of the line... I don't mean to brush aside the taste of meat which is a powerful attraction. But its power is not without limit.
Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.
