Quote #15

I respect her talent and her brain and who she is as a person - and that kind of admiration and respect is a big factor in binding someone in a relationship. I know what a good heart she has, and how empathetic she is with all kinds of people and issues - she's so brilliant on top of it that she can voice these things. And she's as funny as she can possibly be. She makes me laugh.
