The only way to combat hate is by demonstrating empathy and love.

Committing yourself to one person is sacred.

We have much more in common with other people than we have apart.

I wanted to communicate how important it is to love on the people that are in our lives and to take every day with someone as a blessing.

Marriage has given me the gift of compassion.

Compatibility is an achievement of love; it shouldn't be its precondition.

Positive characterizations are complex characterizations. That's all we need to know. They shouldn't be saccharine. They shouldn't feel like medicine.

Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.

Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

My mum and my dad are the sweetest couple.

I went to see England against Switzerland at Wembley with my dad and brother, too. That was in 2008, Fabio Capello's first game in charge. Jermaine Jenas scored, and we won 2-1. I remember the national anthem was incredible. I sang it with pride - always do.

King-ian nonviolence is a way of thinking and living and is not confined to the work of social and systemic change.
