'If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you'd think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better. He continued: 'I can't understand how someone can walk down the street holding hands, and it's the same as when I do it and a hundred people are taking your photo. 'The line between when you're performing and when you're not will eventually get washed away and you'll go completely mad.'
