what I mean and it was my day it was a beautiful day all my friends was there all the

1:00.3

comedians was there and it was beautiful it was it was everything I dreamed of my day

1:06.0

what did you want to finally you know settle down other right one I always looked I mean, I've always believed in quality over quantity. The only reason I had quality because I didn't have quality. So until I found that person, then it was it. I never, my man who was never based upon how many women I've been with or that type of thing, I'm not down like that. I was always new. I used to say in my jokes all the time. People were like, well, Quake, why ain't you made it? And I said, because I'm one good black woman for making it. And I always knew that. You know, I was never going to get the success that I got right now until I found her. You know, I listened to you, the foundation. You have to have that. And you said, and I always was searching, I just could not find that partner, you know, and, you know, you know, is you look for Ms. Wright, not Ms. Wright now. And then nothing wrong with them, my past women. They just wasn't my woman. They wasn't right for me and i don't settle so um

I mean, but really, if you really think about it, if you break it down, it's the situation in for any man, if you don't love it, you're just sleeping with it. It's just for a feeling.

2:47.4

So I have other things that give me just as much satisfaction of that feeling in being with a woman. So you get what I'm saying? So it didn't fill that void that it was looking for until I found her. And Johnny, you're one of your best friends?
