“It was really a very scary thing to me. I had never really opened up to someone. I never had conversations like that with another human being, let alone a man. And I never in a serious way thought about how I felt about anything. I was completely closed off from my feelings… I remember I started telling him stories like I was on the radio, and I’m laughing, and he goes, 'Why are you laughing? It sounds very important to me. It’s very sad, some of these things you’re saying.'”
