I sensed a distance beneath his friendly demeanor. Later, I was invited to write for his Interview magazine, an experience that revealed the loneliness and anxiety behind his glamorous facade, and a resonance with my own divided self: a yearning for belonging and a preference for solitude that struggle to reconcile.
