When Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the same-sex marriage bill, my blood was boiling. I had been silent, but that night, Brad and I watched the news and saw all these young people pouring out on Santa Monica Boulevard venting their rage, and I said, 'I have to speak out.'

I love producing other people's work, but presenting is a very serious business. It's a marriage.

Just going through a marriage and a divorce - which I essentially did by 21 - will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.

All that a husband or wife really wants is to be pitied a little, praised a little, and appreciated a little.

Marriage may be the closest thing to Heaven or Hell any of us will know on this earth.

Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.

I think marriage is all about timing.

It's important to show each other your marriage is a priority.

Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder.

Everyone saw me on TV or read articles, and it was all about my great marriage, the white picket fence, all this success and my perfect life. But behind the scenes, it was a struggle.

Everyone knows marriage is tough.

I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.

The best way to get most husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they're too old to do it.

There may be people in my audience who may not agree with me on some particular issue - you know, say, as a gun owner, they may not agree with me, or, you know, someone may not agree with me on a gay marriage topic. Any of those things. But those shouldn't be the reasons you listen to my music.

When you're old-fashioned like I am, you know marriage is forever. Those vows are a promise.

The country is increasingly culturally conservative, with a small C. Every time marriage is on the ballot, it passes. People are increasingly pro-life. They don't like taxes.

We got Defense of Marriage Act as a federal law from President Bill Clinton. And it was passed with bipartisan support.

I think it's important for people to understand that this started with President Bill Clinton. He, as president, thought it was such a big priority, he passed the defense of marriage - defense of traditional non-gay marriage - that we have it as a federal law.

He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home, and broods a nest of sorrows.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

I don't think young men or women should feel pressured into marriage. You shouldn't marry anyone, in my opinion, who you have to try hard for.

I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.

I think there was a time in my life, probably in college, that I wished every guy was gay because it meant more women for me! I don't know what everyone's problem with it is. I wish everyone was gay! That's always the way I thought about it. I have no issue with it. If I have to suffer through marriage, why shouldn't they?

I had a friend who, after 25 years of marriage, found himself trying to date again, and it was completely different. Everything had changed, and he had to reacquaint himself. It was funny even talking to him about it. For someone who has been out of the loop, it's a different world.

People say, 'What's the secret to a marriage?' There's no secret - I think you get lucky.

I wanted to be the first girl in my class to get married. From the seventh grade on, I used to write in my yearbook under each senior's picture, 'married' or 'engaged.' I had marriage on the brain.

I'm also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage - which no previous society has ever believed.

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

You will often be in despair. You will sometimes think it's the worst decision in your life. That's fine. That's not a sign your marriage has gone wrong. It's a sign that it's normal; it's on track. And many of the hopes that took you into the marriage will have to die in order for the marriage to continue.

To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone.

Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve - one man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either.

The weaker partner in a marriage is the one who loves the most.

'Revolutionary Road' is a fascinating study of the human condition of a fragmenting marriage and the torment that these two people put themselves through in their efforts to try and find happiness and try and stay together, actually.

Marriage has made me safer.

I am a big believer in marriage.

I always like to say that our brand or our philosophy has always been kind of this marriage between the 'food as indulgence,' and it's also been about 'food as health,' that food is vitality.

As my friend said to me, when you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp.

My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.

I had a marriage that I came to in the same way everybody else comes to a marriage. We all take chances when we get married.

The secret to a long marriage in the film industry? Marry someone wonderful, as I did. And always have her come along on location.

I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.

My greatest concern is that Mitt Romney seldom addresses the social issues publicly... I'm referring to the sanctity of human life, the traditional definition of marriage, and religious liberty.

Dick Armey is an economic conservative. He is not a social conservative. He doesn't like to talk about marriage and about the unborn child, the sanctity of life and things like that. He wants to talk about smaller government.

There are few more powerful tools for promoting stability than the institution of marriage.

Over the years the political establishment has frowned if a mainstream politician mentions marriage.

Most kids just follow the cycle. My grandfather didn't finish high school. My father didn't, and I didn't. But you can break the cycle. You can have a successful marriage and be a good father.

I think it's something that needs to be said - that there are interracial marriages out there, and the couples live happy lives, and there's nothing wrong with it.

I've always thought of, of a relationship with an actor to an audience as a marriage, you know. And a story, you know. And there are ups and downs, and you work through them, and you work with them.

I think the government should be out of the marriage business and leave marriage to the churches.

I support gay unions. I think the government should get out of the marriage business completely - leave marriages to the churches. And grant civil unions to gay couples, grant civil unions to a man and woman.
