I think there are plenty of men out there who are capable and accomplished in their own realm. you don't have to be in the same field. i've often been asked, "didn't you want to get married?" and of course i wanted to get married, but you have to fall in love and want to marry a particular person. you don't get married in the abstract. so, although there were people i felt i might have married, it just never happened.

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. see if that doesn't cover most of it. there's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. but when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.
