I shouldn’t have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, ’You’re too young to be married’. ’What? I’m 35’. Said, ’You’re far too young. You haven’t lived yet’. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad.

Stewart frames marriage—at least in his own experience—as something entered into before he had fully explored life on his own terms. The father’s paradox (“35” yet “too young”) suggests that readiness is not strictly chronological but experiential: emotional maturity, self-knowledge, and having “lived” enough to know what one wants. The quote also carries a tone of rueful humor and belated gratitude, turning regret into a kind of filial tribute (“bless him, thanks, Dad”). In a celebrity context, it resonates with the pressures of fame and fast-paced adult life, where conventional milestones can arrive before genuine preparedness.
