A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one.

It is always the same: women bedeck themselves with jewels and furs, and men with wit and quotations.

If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation.

I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.

Everybody needs somebody.

I have this idea of a Taiwan Consensus, which means people in Taiwan have to get together and form a consensus of their own and that they turn around to talk to the Chinese to form a cross-strait consensus so we can build a relationship on that consensus. And in my view, that is the right order to do things.

I have a really good relationship with Focus Features; we had a wonderful time working together on 'Sin Nombre.'

I feel like, in a lot of shows where the woman is in charge, the woman is this ball buster and the guy is sort of weak and spineless. And that's never been my experience in a relationship. I think it's much more interesting that the guy is the boss. And there are stakes.

The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.

Most of us make up our minds in the first three minutes of meeting someone whether there's a potential for a relationship.

NAFTA will continue to regulate the relationship between Mexico and Canada.

I went through a phase when I was 13 where I would only fall in love with people over the age of 19 or 20. I never had a real relationship with any of these people, but it was definitely the guy I wanted to hang out with and wanted to go on trips with. I would be like, 'But, Daddy, he's a musician!'.

Well I don't know because I don't have a real relationship with the industry.

Small unit autonomy, breaking the right rules, cultural influence, and relationship building has always been the heart Special Operations. Something must be done to ensure these are not lost to the big machine of SOCOM.

My husband and I have known each other since kindergarten. I had a crush on him in school, but we never dated. Then we saw each other again after high school, and there was something instantly familiar about him. I'm a very shy person and was very closed off. But he allowed me to be myself. And there's a safety in that.

Men should only believe half of what women say. But which half?

Being flirty is a way of letting a guy know you're interested without making a fool out of yourself.

I think sexuality is fluid, and we have such a strange relationship to it in this country. It's been so fixed and so controlled for so long.

You have to take time and make time for each other. My current single 'Time Is Love' gives a lot of advice in that area, just spending quantity time with the one you love and the one you care about because that's when you really develop a relationship.

My family and I are so close, it's important to have a close knit relationship and to make time to spend with each other, especially at the holidays.

I'm in a monogamous relationship and have been for many, many years. I think it's a choice. I don't think you can generalize, though, and what works for me may not work for other people, but I don't think everybody cheats. We're all different.

I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about, people liberating themselves, freeing themselves.

I eventually made the reunion with my father that I'd used as a default daydream throughout my childhood, but by then, we'd both outgrown the only relationship we could have had to each other. I was over 30 by the time I met him again and no longer needed a father.

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

In a relationship you have to open yourself up.

I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means.

It's a very tricky relationship, the cinematographer and the director as a woman.

He cultivated a relationship with Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick and publicly came to his defense when he was ousted as chief executive officer and sued by another investor.

You are not alone with a guy until you are a proper age. You don't go to certain levels with men until you are married or you have a certain relationship.

As I grew up, I was continually to suffer hardships in different realms of life - in my family, in my relationship to Japanese society and in my way of living at large in the latter half of the twentieth century.

I have an amazing and supportive family. I'm fortunate to have a close relationship with everyone.
