"I find it hard to keep up with him," she persevered. "He's not human! Everyone who sees you together says Richard's crazy about you. What does he say you've given him? He knows I love him madly. I think I bring him stability. Above all, it helped I wasn't an actress or a model. I never had any interest in that."

"He was able to see my unconditional commitment as a humanitarian, as a person, as a woman.... It's the sweetest, most romantic dream I've ever had. That's why I've decided to stay in it!"
