Emily also mentioned it's important to talk to each other and "you have to be forever generous." Instead of clipping each other's wings, she added, "You have to really empower the other one to be everything they can be."

It looks like she and John have been able to make their two-year marriage work in the pressure cooker of Hollywood. She explained, “Some kind of self-fulfillment is really important even if it means you have to spend some time apart and you make sacrifices in other ways. I think both people have to have some kind of purpose, some kind of identity. You don’t want to end up defining yourself by association with someone else.”
