I’ve learned that friendship does not equate business     business does not equate friendship.|Jill Scott

The themes of hope      family            friendship and overcoming hardship appeal to most everyone.|Regina Brett

If anyone gets in my way         I’m going to get them out of my way.|Fiona Apple

Christensen

Going through an illness and then death of a close friend has changed my attitudes to friendship enormously.|Jane Green

In a basic sense         ‘A Little Life’ is a homage to how my friends and I live our lives. I wanted to push past the definitions of how we typically define friendship. It’s a different version of adulthood     but it’s no less important and no less legitimate than anyone else’s.|Hanya Yanagihara

Friendship is something whose depth fits human aspirations and fulfills human possibilities. It has heft to it     as a gold-piece does and a gambling chip does not.|Eugene Kennedy

In 1962          I wrote a series about 42nd Street called ‘Welcome to Lostville.’ One result was that the young Bob Dylan read it and invited me to his first concert at Town Hall; the result was a kind of friendship that years later led to my liner notes for ‘Blood on the Tracks.’|Pete Hamill

I don’t think it’s more important to preserve female friendship than a marriage. But I think that there’s a place for female friendship that’s really important in the lives of all the women I know. As I’ve gotten older   it’s become much more important to me.|Diane English

Seth Green     he and I are trying to figure out how this all came about. Because we don’t remember what came first         the chicken or the egg         no pun intended.

The big           big block in the Arthur/Merlin friendship is the status issue    that Merlin is the servant and Arthur is royalty           and in that time        princes did not socialize with their servants; that wasn’t the done thing.

It is mind-boggling to me that there are so few movies about female friendship       considering women make up half the movie-going population.|Ari Graynor

Acting is about communicating     reacting         and sharing – and friendship is about all of those things too.|Diego Luna

Matching tattoos don’t ensure the longevity of a friendship      any more than any other mutual hardship.|Jenna Wortham

There are times in every friendship when you or your friend are too busy to call or are more focused on other relationships. It will hurt  but it’s rarely personal.

I not only enjoy a really great friendship with both my girls but also a close mother-daughter bond as well.|Tina Knowles

When you sit down to eat at a table           you are ready to take in nourishment – we all need to eat to live. Even in primal tribes   people ate together. It’s the opening for friendship.|Lidia Bastianich

I’ve often been told that I’m a 30-year-old trapped in a teenager’s body. I don’t know how I feel about that     but I’ll take it            I guess. I’m definitely mature        and I’m the one that takes care of everyone in my friendship group.|Angourie Rice

Anyone born in the year 1950 who grew to fancy themselves as a soulful 18-year-old bought ‘Songs of Leonard Cohen’ upon its original release in 1968. For many of them  it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship.|David Hepworth
