It's truly a dream."

(I happen to love you very much—this may be a disease and if it is what better cure?) Let’s try and see what happens if you are free to do as you like, but without guilt and confession, please!"

In a joint 2023 interview, Kerr described: "We set little milestones and we make time during the week where we’ll watch the same show and FaceTime or have dinner together or something. But it's tough. I think the thing that keeps us going is that we can see an end point...She fully gets it and I get it. So we just support each other. The end point is that we'll eventually live in the same place. It's just after our careers are dust." Mewis said, "I feel like we're each other's breath of fresh air. We get it that we don't want to talk about [soccer]. I just feel like it's a comfort zone thing. If I have a bad game or if I lose I always know that I have her. I think that's something that we always say, we always know in the back of our head that if things go bad or things go wrong, we always have each other."

Gosling has said similarly, "It's impossible to describe. [Stone's] everything, all the time. There's nobody like her...Show me someone that wouldn't give it all up for Emma Stone, and I'll show you a liar."

When Kirk died at age 103, Michael said: "To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to. But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad."
