Key Quotes​

  1. "all a prenup is is a rule set and the rule set should be clear to anyone before they enter anything, right? Like I want to understand the rules before I get on the road. I want to know what's the speed limit. What side of the road do we drive on?" (00:00:03)
  2. "Hey, I trust you. You trust me. We have an abundance of goodwill towards each other. Let's right now while we're this crazy about each other, say, how can we make each other feel safe?" (00:00:18)
  3. "I have been in love and I think I have the self-awareness to say to a woman, I want to protect you from people that hurt you, even if that's someone's me. Like, there's a chance I'm going to hurt you. There's a chance this isn't going to work out, but I love you enough to know that if I'm in a relationship with you, there's an assumption of risk, and that is we might hurt each other." (00:00:28)
