"We're great, Jo and me. We're pals, and I guess sex has a lot to do with it. She's also brilliant at clearing a room. So protective, so devoted. I can't believe how much she loves me"
About this Quote
Then he drops the line that makes it feel unfiltered rather than PR-managed: “I guess sex has a lot to do with it.” The casual phrasing (“I guess”) is doing work. It’s both a brag and a deflection, a way of admitting dependency while pretending it’s no big philosophical statement. For rock stars of Wood’s era, sex isn’t just intimacy; it’s a proof of vitality, a currency, a backstage language. He’s confessing that the bond is physical without pretending it’s pure.
“She’s also brilliant at clearing a room” is the sharpest cultural tell. That’s not romance; that’s security. It hints at a partner who functions as gatekeeper and enforcer, someone who can cut through hangers-on, temptation, and the chaos that accumulates around fame. Calling it “brilliant” reframes what could sound controlling into competence, even rescue.
The last beat - “I can’t believe how much she loves me” - is the vulnerability under the swagger. A man used to adoration is still surprised by devotion that isn’t transactional. The subtext is gratitude shot through with disbelief: he knows exactly the kind of man the rock myth makes him, and he’s astonished someone chose the real one.
