Everything that’s cool that happens, I look at my wife and I say, ’We need to enjoy this moment right here! This is really special!’

Nichols frames success not as a permanent state but as a series of fleeting, shareable moments. The quote emphasizes mindfulness—pausing to recognize significance as it happens—rather than postponing gratitude until later. By directing the thought to his wife, he also casts achievement as relational: the “cool” experiences of a public career (performances, accolades, travel) gain meaning when witnessed and affirmed with a loved one. Implicitly, it’s a corrective to the pace and distraction of fame, urging deliberate presence and appreciation before the moment passes.
