"I've changed so much as a person since I've met Ellen. I used to think that the way to be strong was to be tough. I used to think that to be independent was to not need anyone, but she's taught me that the more vulnerable you are and the softer you are, and the more you allow people into your life and into your heart, the happier you are and the more valuable you are to other people. Ellen has completely changed the way I look at life."

"I would have been long divorced if I'd been married. Marriage is an interesting psychological thing. If you need to feel bound to someone, then it's important to be married. If you have independence, if you have enough money and sense of independence and you like your independence, there's something psychological about not being married because it gives you the freedom to make decisions one way or the other. For me, I chose to stay, Kurt chose to stay, and we like the choice."

"He’s kept me laughing and I think that’s a big part of our relationship too and why it’s been so good so long. Because if you can laugh with somebody, that’s healing for sure. Romance is [also] a part of our life every minute. My favorite thing is when he leaves on a trip I will find a little note somewhere I didn’t expect: 'I love you baby' either next to my toothbrush or on our pillow.”

“We were in the dressing room here, June 26, 1996. And it was raining and stuff and we’d been on tour for a while together, and I joked around with her about getting married. She said, ‘We’re at a country music festival in a trailer house, and you’re asking me to marry you?'" He then decided to propose more formally on stage: “ . . . I looked at her, grabbed her by the hand, and dropped forward [on my knees] onstage. She had already done her show. And I said, 'I’m really serious. I want you to marry me.'" Faith then gave her answer in an equally romantic way, writing, "Yes, I'm going to be your wife" with a Sharpie (along with "lipstick kisses") on a mirror in his dressing room.

"We have such different backgrounds, it's comical. Until I was 32, I thought the world was just wolves, that there was no way anyone was acting with any kind of benevolence. When I met her and her friends, I was suspicious of their unbridled happiness. I thought, 'Something stinks here; they're in a cult.' But slowly I began to see her positive way of looking at the world. She gives people the benefit of the doubt."
