HAT WERE you like as
a baby?
I was fat and I didn't.
cry much. That's what
my mom tells me.
What were your first
memories?
Being pushed in my stroller.
You remember that?
Yeah, I remember it. But that's
about it.
Do you have many memories of
the '80s?
Not as a whole, just bits and pieces.
Let me tell you, they were
great. Do you ever remember
your dreams?
I do remember them all the time. I
used to keep a dream journal, but I got
lazy. I've had some great ones.
What are some that stand out?

Greco in it.
Really? Have you ever met Jim?
No, never. He was just kind of there.
Have you ever been a somnambulist?
I have no idea what that is.
That's a sleepwalker.
No, I've never done that. I grind my
teeth and talk in my sleep though.
Do you wear a dental guard?
What? No. Is it bad for you?
Yeah, it'll wear your teeth down
to little stubs. What do you talk
about in your sleep?
Sometimes I speak in Chinese, and

I'm saying. Sometimes I'll say peo-
ple's names. Most of the time I'm just
over there murmuring.
Were you an especially imagi-

I think so. I'm a daydreamer. I used to
get in trouble for that at school.

was mean to her.
How?
I used to yell at her and shit. From
