They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other’s sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship."― Patricia Arquette "When you meet someone new who instantly gets you, your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview, even if theirs are different – and you get them in return.
