I think what 'Shameless' does well is highlight real relationships. And in any real relationship, there are ups and downs and elements that change the dynamics of the relationship.
In marriage you got to go through the same struggles as a relationship, that's if the relationship is real, because there's a lot of non-real relationships going on in the world right now. And I think that's just because of the day and age we're in, a lot of these relationships are taking place over text messages, it's not real substance. But when you got a real one, it's already like a marriage.
Every relationship has their ups and downs, and, you know, when you start having more downs than ups, you know, you gotta take a look at your relationship and be like, you know, 'Is this something that I'm supposed to be doing?'

There are ups and downs in every relationship. But that does not mean that couples should separate or get down to inhuman behaviour.
I think our relationship with Seattle has had ups and downs frankly.
We're a band's band. We have real songs, real players, real problems. Real ups, real downs.
I think in any relationship in this industry, there's a stress on relationships. I think that's reality, but in no way do I think that if a relationship is meant to be together and a marriage is meant to be together, that anything like a show or being in this industry can change that.
If you've been seeing someone for a short while and the "relationship" winds itself down mutually but not explicitly, no postmortem is necessary. But a real relationship should have a real ending.
Just because you are having difficulty in a relationship doesn't mean the love you feel in a relationship is not necessarily real. Or just because you actually can't be together in a relationship, doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is not real.
