Taylor on Lady Gaga

On the dynamics of their relationship: "I'm reserved. She's not. For whatever reason, it works."
On the day they met on the set of the "Yoü and I" music video: "I remember I went up, and we're rolling, and I kissed her and she didn't expect it. They cut, and she slapped me. And then it was just awkward. And then the next take, I just did it again and then she didn't slap me."
On wanting to have kids with Lady Gaga: "I have a bunch of brothers, I grew up with a big family, [and] I want that . . . I want a brood. I'd like to have a little soccer team and a mini van and all that stuff."

On proposing and getting engaged: "I just knew. It wasn't a lightbulb going off."
On whether he'd ever want to share a set with her again: "I would love doing something with her. I met working with her. I don't know that we've done anything workwise since. I wouldn't put that out of the realm of possibilities."

On their first kiss and meeting on the set of her video: "So I've got these pins sticking out of my head and I'm wearing cork and I got no hair and I'm bald. And I mean, why he found me attractive just completely behooves me. And we were in the middle of this scene and I remember that he kissed me and it wasn't scripted for him to kiss me and I was sort of like was, 'Um, you know, was that real or was that fake?" And he didn't really say anything and that was fine by me and we kept filming."
On the ways they complement each other: "Well, he's a hidden weirdo. He is extremely strange, actually, and we complement each other's weirdness."
On how their relationship works: "The way that it really works is that we trust each other. He's on his journey and I'm on mine and we're gypsies. And then when we're together, we're really in love and that's it."

On how she's sometimes better at communicating through song: "Sometimes I feel like, even with my fiancé, I tell him I feel a certain way, but then he understands me better if I create a song and play it for him. I wrote a song for him the other day and it really sat with him because it was something I couldn't say with words, only through song."
On choosing a wedding dress with him in mind: "It will be totally for Taylor. It's all about my man. I haven't really thought about anything specific yet, but whatever it is, it will be totally for him."
On the strength of their feelings: "For me, the connection that I feel is so strong that it's so much stronger than physical. We're both very protective of our love . . . We treat each other with a lot of care and we're good to one another."
On how he's more than just her lover: "At the end of the day he's my best friend, and having your lover be your best friend — I mean, it's the best thing ever. It's the best thing I can say about it."
