| 0:00.0 | In a marriage, I think a strong-willed woman is great, mainly because my husband is married to one. |
| 0:07.0 | He is secure enough to handle it, too. |
| 0:09.0 | I think it takes security in a man to handle a strong-willed woman, and I think a strong-willed woman needs to know when she's being witchy, |
| 0:17.0 | and when she's being confident and intelligent, and being a helpmate at the same time. |
| 0:23.0 | I think it depends on the man. My husband, I don't think, thinks twice about it because I think |
| 0:28.2 | he's pretty confident. So I think that's their problem. And I think we need to stop caring |
| 0:33.4 | like what they think about it. I mean, my husband and I have our own business. |
