I have a group of friends in my life, and we all give each other something different. I've known my two closest friends for many years. One is a friend from high school, and the other I met right after college. My deep, deep friends remind me every day of the good parts of my personality.

Honestly, I don't buy papers or the weeklies. I think when something messy does happen, you just need your closest friends and family all around you, and it's nothing to do with anyone else.

My closest friend, who died not long ago, is buried near Marx's grave in Highgate cemetery, so I see the gaggle of admirers laying roses at the foot of his tombstone regularly. I have never been tempted to leave flowers there myself. Great theories, shame about the practice. Marx did many things. But inventing class was not one of them.

So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb.

I do believe in 'forever' in terms of relationships. There's something really amazing about being with someone for a long time and really knowing each other in that way. They end up becoming your closest friend.

My closest friends from Israel make fun of me for becoming an American, and my American friends make fun of how Israeli I am... I can't win.

It is also very engaging - and a delight - to go back to Bangladesh as often as I can, which is not only my old home, but also where some of my closest friends and collaborators live and work.

I am, as are most writers, just hugely obsessive, and so are many of my closest friends, who tend to be writers or scientists. It's a trait of human nature that I'm particularly in touch with. So I tend to project it onto my characters.

People don't realize it hurts my feelings when someone looks at my hair or my eyes, and says, 'But you're not actually black. You're black, but you're not black black, because your eyes are green.' I'm like, 'What? No, no, I'm definitely black.' Even some of my closest friends have said that. It's been a bit touchy for me.

Ayesha Curry

Your You Yes

The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

The only time I actually got mad at God is when my dad completely changed and was my closest friend, and then he was taken from me too soon.

I have a group of friends in my life, and we all give each other something different. I've known my two closest friends for many years. One is a friend from high school, and the other I met right after college. My deep, deep friends remind me every day of the good parts of my personality.

I've been singing with Roomful of Teeth since the beginning in 2009, and it's a really mind-blowingly wonderful vocal ensemble. Very brave and very creative, and they're some of my closest friends.

Caroline Shaw

My family and my closest friends are my favorite things about being home.

Charlie Plummer

That time, making 'Disco Pigs,' was kind of the most important period of my life. The people I met there remain my closest friends.

Cillian Murphy

Strengthening our critical strategic alliance with Israel is in U.S. security interests and the absolute right thing to do for our closest friend in a very dangerous part of the world.

Cindy Hyde-Smith

All the people I have written about remain with me - perhaps they are my closest friends.

Claire Tomalin

My closest friends are the ones who tell me that I'm being dumb or that I'm being wrong.

Cole Sprouse

Wrong Who Tell

I'm happy. I've had a great career. I adore my family. My closest friends from decades ago remain my closest friends.

Cristina Saralegui

Great Family Car

I grew up around it. That was what my friends were listening to - some of my closest friends are big hip-hop fans.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

What I am today, is from Houston and my friends, my closest friends, we all went to high school together.

DeAndre Jordan

Us Ton Together

You never know really what anyone thinks about you - that's why all my closest friends are ones I've had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.

Dominic Cooper

Pete Buttigieg is one of my closest friends as a mayor.

Eric Garcetti

It's great because all of my friends from elementary school are still my closest friends.

Gia Coppola

I was, throughout school, in the theater program. Through elementary school, junior high, high school, and then J.J. Abrams, my closest friend in the world, we were living together. He was writing, and I was trying writing; I wasn't getting paid for it like he was, but I always had the acting bug.

Greg Grunberg

My brother has been, and will always be, my closest friend.

GRiZ

To this day, my mom's unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years, she's worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as 'Sami.' Along with 500 miles of shelved books, her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself.

Hoda Kotb

One of my closest friends was a half-black, half-Jewish girl. Another good friend had a shaved head... but I was also friends with jocks. I was a 'floater,' I guess you could say.

Imran Amed

I have lost someone I loved as a brother, as a closest friend, and a remarkable human being. We have also lost one of the best damn actors we'll ever see.

Jack Lemmon

To me, the band is like one of my homes, in fact. It's not like, 'I've got to get out of this band. I've got to go home.' This band is home in a lot of ways. It's my closest friends; it's a place where I really feel comfortable and happy.

James Murphy

The Internet has introduced me to some of my closest friends.

Janet Mock

For some reason for me, and a lot of people, it's so hard to accept help even when it's from your closest friends.

Jenna Morasca

All my closest friends are gay. All of them.

Jessica Origliasso

Some of my closest friends, the England lads, have played in the Champions League, so it's a big thing to be there as well.

Joe Hart

Forget worrying about the break-up of celebrities you don't even know. I have long since given up trying to figure out why even my closest friends split up.

John Niven

America has lost the moral high ground with the rest of the world, and we have fewer allies as a result. President Bush and his administration have undermined the war on terror by using tactics outlawed by international treaty and condemned by even our closest friends.

John Olver

My 40th birthday I held in an old-age home. My 50th I had at Pravda before it opened in New York. My 60th I had at Pastis. For my 70th, I thought, 'I don't need to have a celebrity party this year. I'm going to go take my oldest, closest friends to Paris.'

John Waters

One of my closest friends is a trans man who is incredible. And a lot of my clients are trans women.

Jonathan Van Ness

My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors.

Judd Nelson

Some of the closest friends you make in TV are the producers who travel on field assignments with you - you're together 24/7.

Kayla Tausche

I felt lost in endless spools of social media. All the while, emails by the thousands were piling up, phone calls were getting lost in the mix, and messages from the most important people in my life were getting drowned out in the din. I was more responsive to comments on Instagram than to my own closest friends and family.

Kelly Evans

Our friends have nothing to do with the business. Some of our closest friends in Florida are not stars.

Kelly Preston

It was a life decision, deciding which path to take in my career. I needed time to get together with my family and closest friends.

Kepa Arrizabalaga

I have an amazing social media manager, Allison Peters, who is one of my closest friends since childhood.

Kerry Washington

A friend is someone who has your back. Those in the military refer to it as, 'I got your six.' My closest friend on 'The Five' is Dana Perino.

Kimberly Guilfoyle

To this day, some of my closest friends say, 'Gaga, you know, everything's great. You're a singer; your dreams have come true.' But, still, when certain things are said to you over and over again as you're growing up, it stays with you and you wonder if they're true.

Lady Gaga

My mother, my relatives, and closest friends have risked their lives in the area of law enforcement and corrections, so I never have and never will say, 'I hate police.'

Lecrae

On your first film, you think these are going to be your closest friends for the rest of your life. You form a bond, but then you go back to the rest of your life.

Lenny Abrahamson

Many times, the decisions we make affect and hurt your closest friends and family the most. I have a lot of regrets in that regard. But God has forgiven me, which I am very thankful for. It has enabled me to forgive myself and move forward one day at a time.

Lex Luger

In closing I wish to say that while I was sorely beset by a number of white riders in my racing days, I have also enjoyed the friendship of countless thousands of white men whom I class as among my closest friends.

Major Taylor

Eugene Levy is my closest friend.
