“I was actually in South Africa, so I couldn’t come home, and like, my animals were tied to a post at the beach. I lost everything.

Every photograph of me that my parents had given to me, all my scripts, I lost everything.”

“In trying to put [everything] back together, instead of going, ‘Oh, nature kind of did something I couldn’t do for myself; it forced me to let go,’ I ran toward the fire… a lot of animals do this and end up dying like deers run into the forest. You’re attracted to that heat and me being an intense person and not wanting to sit with it, and not wanting to go… I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him.”
