I don't believe in marriage. It's bloody impractical. 'To love, honor, and obey. ' If it weren't, you wouldn't have to sign a contract.
You can't just be talented: You have to be terribly smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don't just show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one else can be--and consistently.
Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.

I really gave up being passionate about politics 10, 15, 20 years ago, because I think finally that there were forces in the country that are larger than politics itself.

But If you get to down it, look, I`m going to root for someone, I`ll root at a football game, not for politicians.
Any excuse, no matter how valid, only weakens the character.
