Among men, sex sometimes results in intimacy; among women, intimacy sometimes results in sex.
Barbara Cartland

Because I am afraid of commitment. This movie certainly has some bearing and is some reflection of my real feeling about relationships, because I do have commitment issues. My friends tell me I have intimacy problems, but they don't know me, so who cares what they think?
Garry Shandling

But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.

Deborah Tannen

Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.

Armand Assante

I don't have any fear of intimacy, but rather thrive on it, which is rare in a public person.
Jack Nicholson

I have similar feelings, actually. The intimacy of a club: you can see the people, you can almost feel them; you can't beat that. People will say things, and shout out, it's almost like they're up on the bandstand with you.
Benny Green

I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas.
Norman McLaren

I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.
J. Edgar Hoover

I think it's always harder in a film to convey intimacy.
Patricia Clarkson

I think that musicians should never forget about the intimacy of bringing two people together, and the aesthetic transference where you're almost vicariously involved in a romance between other people.

Queen Victoria

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.
