But not everything is perfect.
'In the long relationship, you know, hopefully when we're 89 we look at this six months or whatever time and we laugh at that.
'There's gonna be complications in the relationship that we have to get through. And the only way to get through that is we sit down and have a dialogue and say, "These are the things that I'm uncomfortable with. These are the things that are unacceptable to me. This is what I feel."

'I'm sure he feels that I've done things to him as well. I'm not a perfect human being by no stretch.'
