  • On where they shared their first kiss: "Back of a limo."
  • On how she's changed since meeting Ellen: "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."
  • On their proposal: "Ellen was going to surprise me with a commitment ceremony at a joint birthday party that we were going to have, so we made the date of August the 16th and during that time, gay marriage became legal in California so we were about to have this ceremony and then, all of a sudden, it was like a gift that it was then legal."
