“It was how it was supposed to feel.”

“It was a very critical transition for me, and maybe a dream come true, or maybe an accomplishment, for him. I don’t know.
“Very soon we weren’t meant for the long run. For one, there’s a great gulf between athletes and artists, and honestly it’s hard for two stars from any industry to make it work.”
