「全心全意地愛沒有壞的後果。付出愛你總是會得到。就像那句美麗的莎士比亞名言,出自《羅密歐與朱麗葉》:“我的慷慨如海洋般無邊。我的愛深沉。我給予你的越多,我擁有的也越多。因為兩者都是無窮的。”」

“One of the things that really allows us to get through these moments that are obviously very stressful—we’re talking about the future of the free world—it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself and each other. We do a healthy amount of both of that. We don’t take ourselves too seriously in the context of our relationship. You can’t. You just have to flow and know what’s really important.”
「在我們面對明顯非常壓力的時刻——我們正在談論自由世界的未來——能夠自嘲和互相取笑是很重要的。我們在這兩方面都做得很好。在感情關係中,我們不會把自己看得太重。你不能這樣做。你只需要順其自然,知道什麼才是真正重要的。」
