She recalled feeling anxious and admitted she was ‘sobbing’ after they exchanged vows. 

‘This is how I work personally, but [when] something great happens in my life, I expect something bad to happen,’ she told the audience. 

‘So instead of being present and saying, “OK, wow, we’ve done a great thing,’ which I do, I’m always thinking, “OK, but this could go away tomorrow, so how can I make sure that doesn’t happen?”‘ 

She said she gets ‘wrapped up’ in an irrational sense of dread. 

‘I would say that’s my biggest conflict sometimes when wonderful things happen,’ she said. 

‘I got married and then I was sobbing because I was like, “I’m gonna die the next day.” I just think that’s a little life thing.’
