I was formed by 'The Forsyte Saga' marathon. There was something about seeing all those events telescoped that was unbelievably moving: that sense of time as something that can be tinkered with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Speed eventually neared its peak. The records forced me to work ever harder to drop a less and less time. These time trials came to feel like races, which are fun to run sporadically but not daily.
I am fascinated with times past.
There are days where I lose track of time, of place, of everything else, because I've been transported to another universe.
I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine.
There were days when I was literally running for hours in the forest and then I'd jump on a plane and then I'd be on the 'Nurse Jackie' set. I was going from Vancouver to New York every three days. For me, it was really invigorating.
All these years later, I have almost no memory of the shows themselves. It's a blur. I remember my jogging runs better - that was my way of getting my energy together. I used to try to get to the arena as late as possible; otherwise, I'd just be pacing around, waiting to go on.
A couple of years ago I ran in the LA Marathon.
My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient.
This experience of getting so lost in my writing that I lose track of time, or of anything outside the imagined world, is a release for me.
I'm fascinated by the fact that we can't grasp anything about time.
