Or was it not?

Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, I think the thing you've got to understand about the press is they're only interested in two things when you're up and when you're down.

And when you're in the middle, it doesn't really make for great conversation.

I've spent a lot of my life recently in the middle ground, which is very, you know, which I'm very, very content about, you know.

Success is a funny sort of thing and how you process what was happening to me in the 80s and early 90s at the age of 21, 22, 23, 24.

I mean, that's a whole psychological analysis and then the sort of the falling off the cliff moment for me, particularly in the 90s.

Press, yeah, I mean, look, it's always been a necessary part of...

what we do yeah you know um and i think there are people that going back to that era you could pretty well trust um you know for me neighbors

Being an actor, you know, playing the character of Scott and then Charlene and then Kylie and myself, which was sort of art imitating life, life imitating art.

What do you mean by that for anyone who doesn't know?

Well, I mean, look, you know, it's no secret that now it's no secret that Kylie and I were in a relationship.

I mean, that didn't initially start.

But if you go back, the history between her and I, we played brother and sister in a TV show when we were in –

you know 11 12 and then met on the set of neighbors in 1987. wow um and i don't know whether we were actually initially destined to become this on-screen romance but that's just sort of how it worked out and then the relationship sort of blossomed

You know, we never openly went out and told anyone that we were going out because we felt that we had to have an element of privacy to ourselves, you know.

But it was sort of an unwritten rule that people sort of knew, but they didn't.

It was a game.

It was a sort of a game.

Well, they want a little bit.

You want them to have a little bit, but then you don't want them to have everything.
