David on responsibility in marriage: "I don't think marriage changes that. What changes is the way the sexes relate -- you smile at each other and then it escalates. I don't respond to that now. It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility. I never got that attitude toward cheating: "How could she have an affair with a married man?" Isn't that his responsibility?"

David: "The great benefit of monogamy is that you get to trust the person you're with and she gets to trust you. And so much comes out of that. So whether or not men and women were meant to be monogamous -- and we can debate all the theories until we die -- I know I gain something great from it. Whether or not it's natural."

A. No, I don’t. We’re both sort of fair with each other. He’ll go away or work and then I have my time."

Tea about her parents' marriage: "I've always been aware that my parents have an incredible marriage, I can even remember being jealous of it as a child. They were always doing things together, playing tennis, going running. They thoroughly enjoyed each other's company. They were always holding hands and kissing."
