It came to me in a nightmare, actually — a nightmare that I was kidnapped. I went to the movies, I got popcorn, was [sitting down] and everybody was scattering out of the theater. I was like,"I just want to watch a movie." One of the ushers was trying to tell me to come through a back way so that they could protect me because they're kidnapping people. I did not listen to the usher, and I was kidnapped. All of my memories were wiped clean. I didn't know who I was.
I came up with this particular story by asking myself: What if you were the person who knew everybody's memories and you also knew everybody's secrets? What does that mean when you want to fall in love, when you know everybody's secrets? How do you fall in love? How are you truthful? Can you be truthful?I think I'm becoming more and more authentic in the way that I express that truthfulness.
