#friend

One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention. ↗

Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports. ↗

I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways. ↗

On the whole, the world was friendly. It chiefly depended on whether one were good or not. ↗

I went out with some old friends and we were having fun. A couple of them were very intoxicated. When I went to leave, I refused to let them drive. So when I got pulled over, I was the driver. ↗

Being a single mother was the right thing for me. But I have a tremendous amount of help from my friends. They're in love with my kids, and my kids are in love with them. ↗

I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them. ↗

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. ↗

I've also learned to no longer feel guilty if I'm invited out and don't want to go. If I start to say to myself, 'What's wrong with you that you're staying in five nights in a row to watch 'Forensic Files' instead of going out with your friends' I remind myself that it's what I need to do for myself at that point. ↗

My friends started having children after college, while I was pursuing this crazy acting career and living hand to mouth. Plus, all my boyfriends were artists struggling to make a living. Having kids didn't make any sense - why would I take on more of a financial burden when I couldn't even afford a dog? ↗
