“The letters, some of them came from his dog…the dog needed a human rights lawyer to rescue him from the wine cellar. I remember that,” she recalled.
“Who’s going to be mad at a dog?” George quipped in return.
The pair also reflected on when they first fell in love.
“It was easy. It was the minute she walked in the door. I was just, you know, taken by her. And the fun part was, you know, we didn’t — I didn’t know whether, you know, she would like me or any of those things,” George said.

The couple even shared new details about their 5-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander.
“We’ve made a terrible mistake. Well, we — we taught them Italian. But we don’t speak Italian. We’ve armed them with a language that they can harm us with. We don’t know what they’re saying,” the 61-year-old explained.
“Our son is now a big prankster. And he’s — he’s basically — you taught him all of these lessons, and he’s pranking his dad back,” the human right’s attorney claimed.
“Alexander’s favorite superhero is Batman. He goes, you know, I said, ‘what’s your favorite superhero?’ He goes, ‘Batman.’ I go, ‘you know, I was Batman.’ He goes, ‘yeah, but not anymore.’ I was like, if only he knew how true that was,” George shared.
