   Because of the experiences that we had in life — filming, promoting the show, traveling, recording, touring — it was very unique and it was challenging, we had to protect each other. Think of it like being in a little bit of a cocoon and then coming out, only to be recognized and being famous. We were the only ones that could rely on each other. We trusted in each other and got along with each other. So we looked out for another. And I think that bonded us for life.
