Love Quote by Kevin Eubanks

"I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing, and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being"

About this Quote

Eubanks slips a love-advice question into the key of late-night comedy: sincere on the downbeat, punchline on the upbeat. The first half reads like a clean, almost rehearsed wishlist - open-minded, dedicated, emotionally direct. It’s notably action-oriented: not “nice” or “perfect,” but someone with agency and the courage to be explicit about affection. “Isn’t afraid to say I love you” carries its own little autobiography; you can hear the fatigue with cool, noncommittal dating culture, and the appeal of someone who doesn’t treat vulnerability like a trapdoor.

Then he detonates the balloon with “she shouldn’t have three heads.” The joke does more than get a laugh. It punctures the performative seriousness of celebrity “ideal partner” talk and shrinks the whole question down to human scale. In a culture that trains famous people to list impossible specifications (and gets the audience to judge them for it), Eubanks uses absurdity to declare: my standards are not a shopping cart.

“I want a regular human being” is the real tell. Coming from a working musician who spent years in the studio-orbit of fame, it reads like a boundary as much as a preference: no exoticizing, no status games, no myth-making. He’s asking for emotional clarity and everyday steadiness, not a fantasy. The humor isn’t a dodge; it’s a pressure release that makes the sincerity land without sounding corny, a musician’s instinct for timing applied to intimacy.
