Relationships are negotiated and if you deal with ultimatums and authority all the time, then you're not going to get anywhere.

Take it from a guy: If you're in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You're going to get to her somehow, some way.

I do not deal with threats and ultimatums.

When you get married, your loyalty, first and foremost, is to your spouse, and to the family that you create together.

A lot of people do have tragic childhoods. But you know what? Get over it.

I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.
