uh in order to survive and if you do that for so long how do you know who you are it's a really it's a really difficult question and i think uh you know some people do that

professionally, I mean if you choose to be an actor or comedian, possibly even a politician, you are putting on, you are inhabiting that mask perhaps because

it is safer to do it in that kind of dosed way.

I will, for that moment, be masking someone else's emotion.

And that is my way of feeling it, but keeping it at a distance.

And there is... I remember when I was...

I mean, I'm a neuroscientist.

I'm very much a firm believer in the sort of biological elements of neuroscience and human experience.

But I remember being struck when I was revising for my membership exams about a psychological defense.

So, you know, people talk about, you know...

psychological defenses, you know, minimization or catastrophization or projection, you know, all of those sort of things.

One of them is called incorporation, which is where you have, for want of a better word, an unstable sense of self and you take on the identity of other people.

So a bit like being a chameleon.

And I found that fascinating because it's not something that we think about or talk about a lot, but that your own sense of identity is so fragile or distant from yourself that you kind of have to become someone else.

But I suppose we are all, you know, we've all been different people and, you know, we're never the same person, are we?

I'm sure, although part of me thinks I'm exactly the same person as I was when I was six, as I was when I was 13.

But all of our selves and everything, they're all changing all the time.

Well, this is interesting.

What about the accent?

Do you adopt the accent?
