Joel on Nicole

  • On how he met Nicole: "When I first would see her around, we were friends, but I don't think I'm the obvious choice. I'm always like, 'Just give me a shot. Just give me one date.' If I can get my foot in the door..."
  • On keeping their careers separate: "Things are simplest when we're not involved in each other's work."
  • On why he doesn't appear on Nicole's VH1 show: "[There] are people who think we want to be in tabloids, like we're asking someone to surprise us with a camera. If I was only interested in people seeing me, I'd be on Nicole's show, and as a family we made a firm decision not to do that. The show is totally Nicole's thing. The family is our thing, and we protect it."
  • On Nicole's personality: "Nicole is really laid-back. You can tell her anything and she's like, 'Whatever."
