“I love my wife more than anything on this planet. I absolutely love being married. I was just telling one of my friends, I know this wasn’t the question. But I’m going to tell you anyway that’s in my moment. I was just telling my friend no matter how close you are to somebody that’s a friend, when they have a problem, you feel bad for them. You don’t lose your sleep. Nobody ever loses any sleep.”

“If my wife has a problem, I lose sleep over. If I have a problem, she loses sleep over. It’s so nice to not have to go into our problems by ourselves anymore. I’m very for family, I’m very for marriage. I’m very for one woman, one man.”
