An extra-nice leather jacket…but I never wore it because I actually don’t like leather jackets. I’m not cool enough to wear a leather jacket. It doesn’t work for me, you know what I mean? I’m just not that girl.

She characterized Antonoff as “my human diary,” emphasizing their constant communication. Prior relationships left her feeling isolated, but with Antonoff, she expressed a newfound sense of safety and comfort:
In every other relationship I’ve ever been in, I still felt really lonely because I wasn’t with my person, and it’s like I was seeking something. I don’t feel like that anymore. Jack makes me feel safe and comfortable.
