“Until about a month before I met Jack, I didn’t have any furniture. I always lived in shitty little apartments with mattresses on the floor and Ikea lamps and moved them from place to place. I never built a house, never mind. I was just concerned about the movie. I was using my sister’s basement in Los Angeles as a place to store my things. But I didn’t invest in that part of my life. Now I’m really excited about building a house. There is something important. ”
