01:32 And, you know, that was a whole
01:34 new animal for him.
01:35 And I, you know, it was just

02:03 >> I'm a tabloid nightmare.
02:05 My life seems so much more
02:06 dramatic and interesting than it
02:08 is.
02:09 >> Certain relationships happen,
02:10 and they happen for a reason,
02:11 and they're not necessarily meant
02:13 to go on forever, and you're

02:15 from them.
02:16 >> And work.

02:51 Donovan.

02:55 that same year.
02:56 He guest-starred on "Friends."
