I dont have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does – and Im much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be. – Jennifer Garner
My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes, and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little. – Jennifer Garner
Im still really close with everyone at home and their parents – and their brothers and sisters. I was so, so, so lucky to grow up as part of a community and I dont take that for granted. I try very hard to stay part of it. – Jennifer Garner
I remember, my mom didnt have any help, so if she needed to be somewhere after school, wed just go down to the neighbors and shed give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There werent any latchkey kids. – Jennifer Garner
My parents had an arranged marriage, as did so many other people when I was growing up. My father came and had a life in the United States one way and my mother had a different one, and I was very aware of those things. I continue to wonder about it, and I will continue to write about it. – Jhumpa Lahiri
