00:00It's still the same thing, you know, we just, I just choose someone who inspired me,
00:29still inspires me, I just love the way she thinks about things, she makes me laugh, she
00:34laughs, she makes me laugh all the time, but she's also gorgeous.
00:37It's hard to put into words what you fall in love with someone, but I just think he's
00:41a, he's a, he's a great person, I think he's, he's fascinating, he's talented, he's driven.
00:59And I remember thinking, I want to be in that band, I want to sing that song, so yeah, I
01:04did.
01:05And I was totally inspired by the kind of energy of Ricky as a lead singer and as a
01:12frontman, there was just this kind of like a heat-seeking missile kind of directness
01:18about him, which I think you still, still have.
01:25I think a lot of it's luck to be honest, you know, I do, I think if you find the right
01:38person, then it's going to work, and if you don't find the right person, it's not going
01:43to work.
01:44And, you know, we've had a, we've had a great life, but life can be hard for a lot of people
01:49that can make relationships a lot harder, you know, when, what is it they say, when
01:54poverty comes in through the window, love goes out the door, life can be hard for people,
02:00so we've had, we've had a lot of, a lot of good things happen to us in life, but I do
02:05think that a certain element of it is, is luck and meeting the right person.
02:09And you just kind of know, and you have friends who, we have friends that we're going to,
02:13I was mentioning friends that we're going to see tonight, I think they've been married
02:15for a long, long time, you know, and they're great company and so on, and, you know, other
02:20friends that you think just their relationships didn't work out, it's just, so we're very
02:24grateful, that's really important.
