"Someone's always up, and someone's down. So someone's found out amazing news and got the job they wanted, and someone's devastated, so we're never quite on the same emotional wavelength in terms of our careers, but, in many ways, that's great because you have someone who's usually always happy in the house pulling someone up."

It was gone."
