Yes. I remember asking Rod, who was in full transparency a really good friend of ours. I said to him, I said, Rod, you could do anything else you want probably. Why are you cheating slot machines? And he said, he never gave me the answer I wanted, but what he said was, I'm just going to do this until this.

When I met Apollo, I was still thinking that I would become a psychiatrist, that I would work in a clinical setting. I didn't think that I would shift gears.

I've always been a watcher, so I just watch. And then one day, he was performing something. I walked away because I had a phone call. When I came back, I saw a detail in the way he handled something, and I figured out how it worked. She was interested in how people responded to him. There was this vulnerable moment where people are exposed to a shift in what they thought is real.

So I wanted to do that. She started off learning how to pickpocket, but then she got tired of it. It was a gender problem.

That kind of thing.
