In the Tina documentary, Tina described how she felt when she first saw him.

"My heart went bah-boom," she said. "It means that a soul has met, and my hands were shaking. And Roger said to me, 'Tina, you ride with Erwin,' and I wanted to go, ‘Yay!'"

Later on in the film, she said, "He was just so different, so laid back, so comfortable, so unpretentious, and that was the beginning of our relationship."

In his own segment of the documentary, he said their relationship has an electric charge that he still feels today.

"It’s love, it’s something we both have for each other. I always refer to it as an electrical charge," he said. "I still have it. I still have it even though when I left her two hours ago, three hours ago, this morning, I still have that feeling. That feeling is still with me. It’s in my heart. I feel very warm about this."
