If we keep on ignoring and leaving children to their own devices at home, they become latchkey kids, and trust me, the consequences of that are not good.

A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.

I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says.

Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.

Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.

I think 'Y&R's future is contingent upon the ratings. Obviously, none of the soaps are kept alive for the sake of loyalty. It's all about ratings. It's show business. Period.

Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside, you say, "Why are they still married?"

It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.

If it's really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house, for health insurance, someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick.

A mother's got to be there to raise the children. That's all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can't do it all the time.

The workplace should have a place where the kids can visit. They should have places at the mother's or the father's work where professionals can have their kids visit them whenever they feel like it.

I want to be part of your story. I want your story to rearrange the symbols in my mind. I want your voice to be my voice.

The length of words used to explain something does not determine the quality of the thought. Yet, I tend to believe that the shorter one can say something, the better it is.

No one can help but stare at the monster, because horror is a cousin to awe.

Unless a man has the talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden.

Losing a wife can be very hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.

I just won't sleep," I decided. There were so many other interesting things to do.

After all, life is not a Hindi movie.

I knew the past wasn't real. It was only an idea, and the thing I'd wanted to touch, to brush against, the feeling I couldn't name - it just didn't exist. It was only an idea, too.

The leading edge of reality is mind, and mind is the primary substratum of being.

You do need to get lucky, no matter how talented you are.
