Every relationship probably has at its inception a hundred things that you could pick on and divert you from it but the feeling is there. You figure out a way to make it work.

It's interesting that I had such a close relationship with my grandfather. Because your parents always judge you: they say 'You shouldn't do this you shouldn't do that.'
