She told the Daily Beast: "I’m sure my parents' divorces did affect me in some way, but also, in my life in general I don’t see a lot of marriages that look appealing to me. Because I’m not married I tend to get a lot of eye-rolling conversations with people about their marriages. Why would I want to head there?"
