Elena Cardone says she rarely tells Grant no because years of acting rejections made her hate being turned down. They operate as a unified team with a distraction-free household designed to support each other's goals.

Well, and the feeling I got, and again, correct me if I'm wrong, is in the book, I almost now after having read that book, I view you guys almost as one. Totally. Is that right?
Yeah. I mean, we're definitely on the same team. Oh, for sure, yeah. We're definitely like, we work very well together.
Yeah. You guys got both sides of the puzzle.
Yeah.
So another thing, which is kind of funny to bring up, but I did want to ask you. So you said a distraction-free environment in the house. House. And I would say also in the book, a very supportive environment in the house. So one of the things that you said in the book is that you never say no to Grant. Okay, so yeah, can you elaborate?
Well, because— and probably again because I was an actress for so many years and I have been rejected so many times. Like, you know, how many times do I get close and fail? Or you're this, or you're that, or you're not this, or you're not that. And Anyway, I just feel like, I don't know, like I don't want to be rejected.
Yeah.
And you know, it's just not a good feeling. So I just thought, if you're married to somebody, why would you ever want them to feel that way? Like, I mean, you're the only person they're supposed to be being with in a monogamous relationship. So that should be like really sacred. Like, that should just be like a given, not like, oh, I have to punish you by taking that away or whatever. That's like the one special thing that y'all have that nobody else has. So I just don't think it should be messed with.
