“I can see now I never really committed to Laura. I always had one foot out the door, and that prevented me from doing a lot of things, like thinking about my future and... I guess it made more sense to commit to nothing, keep my options open. And that's suicide. By tiny, tiny increments.”
John Cusack - Rob Gordon

“Nobody is gonna be everything to you, and that ultimately it's just a simple action of committing yourself, meeting your responsibilities that matters.”
Ethan Hawke - Jesse

“A relationship is a lot like a porcelain nail, Ted. You can break it, and you can glue it back together, but it's not going to be as strong as it was unless the person is really committed to not bringing home nurses!”
Geena Davis - Valerie

- Eleanor "Nell" Vance: You have trouble with commitment?
- Theo: Well, my boyfriend thinks so, my girlfriend doesn't. We could all live together, but they hate each other.
Lili Taylor - Nell
Catherine Zeta-Jones - Theo

“Forgive me, but you keep talking about how much she meant to you. All I remember is you would show up at the gym first thing in the morning, you would be the last person to leave at night. You didn't have time for anybody or anything. You blamed her for ruining the relationship. Well, maybe the real problem was you.”

Alan Arkin - Louis 'Lightning' Conlon
