She even shared something very interesting in an interview. She said:

“He’s so sexy. And he taught me the importance of being silly. Being silly is so important. Silly is the opposite of grief. It’s throwing yourself into a moment without care. You can’t always maintain your status as a dignified person? it gives you blinders,” said Colbert. “When you always expect the world to fulfill your expectations, it wears you down. It closes you off.”
