In a Relationship With:Jennifer Garner Best Quotes:“I don't think the government should be involved in any way in people's bedrooms or lives. With so much hatred and unpleasantness in the world, why would you want to get in the way of people who love each other marrying each other?”
“I've finally learnt how to say, 'No comment.' To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve, and a steep one, at that. You had better learn quick, or you get burnt.”
“I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun, sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship.”
“I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important, than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life.”
