3. 'Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn't think that I was that young. It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible. At the same time, it turned out for the best. I'm glad that I'm not there. I'm glad that it didn't happen when I was 50. I'm glad I didn't have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that's probably not going to happen again.' — Elisabeth Moss, over haar scheiding van Fred Armisen, in New York Magazine.

6.'In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, "Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn't understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong." We couldn't fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn't want it to get any worse. "You're the mother of my kids — I don't want to hate you."'— Kevin Hart, over zijn scheiding van Torrei Hart in Upscale Magazine.

I try really hard to rise above it.' — Jennifer Aniston, over haar scheiding van Brad Pitt, in Vanity Fair.
12. 'Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating. Worse than that. One of the reasons why we got back together and broke up so much was trying to keep the family together.

13. '[Divorce] was emotionally traumatic for me. It was the death of a dream. I was in fairy tale land, and the reality of it wasn't so.
