On marriage
When people ask me if I’m happy I got married, I generally tell them it’s the best decision I’ve ever made, and every day with Ivona affirms that. People ask me why I got married so young, and while there are a lot of reasons, sometimes I just say “I guess I was the marrying type,” which really means “I’m sick of people asking me this shit.” I have canned responses for tons of questions. It probably comes from years of driving buses and cabs, and being asked the same questions constantly. But my answers about marriage, while they may be canned, are also deeply true. It’s not being married that’s so great as much as it is the person I’m married to, of course. But you know what I mean.
