When Bob looked at videos of my earlier autobiographical pieces, he said, “If I do this work I’m not interested in your art—I only want to work with your life.” And he had a unique take on my life. “I like your tragic stories,” he told me. “In a certain way they’re so funny. There’s nothing more kitschy than showing the tragic as tragic—I feel we have to stage your life comically to reach the public’s heart.”
