Personal Life
Lee married actress and photographer, Carmen Llywelyn, in 1995, but they divorced in 2001. Llywelyn later cited Lee's devotion to Scientology as the reason for the cessation of the relationship.
Lee was then engaged to actress Beth Riesgraf who gave birth to their son, Pilot Inspektor. The unusual name was inspired by the song, "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot", by indie rock band, Grandaddy; Lee and Riesgraf separated in 2007 prior to the registration of an official marriage.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue.... There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
