"There's a certain geometry to life... life has a certain math equation to it..."

Actually, it doesn't, and that -- from Ethan Hawke -- is from the most pathetic justification for a failed celebrity marriage that I've ever read.

"It's unfair when one person's career is taking off and the other is really suffering.

"What happens -- it's not that they're jealous of each other; it's that the person you share your life with isn't in the mood to support. You want to have a pity party for yourself, but they're off to the Golden Globes and you don't want to go because everyone is going to think you are jealous.

"There's a certain geometry to life -- that life has a certain math equation to it and if you're never together, you can't build a home.

"Joanne Woodward put her career on the back burner for that marriage (to Paul Newman) to last. And something's got to give."

6. Really smart:



7. Whining is a dangerous game. Don't do it. Especially about Uma.
