Like when you get into that other gear, it's all good.

Guillermo's movie, yeah.

And I—well, I'll answer the first part of the question first, which is I was at a party.

I was thinking about what I wanted to do.

You know, I was kind of knocking things around in my mind, just sort of more—just thinking about what—

What was on the edges of my mind?

And then the making of the movie can be a way of kind of...

getting into some dangerous territory about what you don't know, you know?

So I was thinking about, I don't know, what do I want to do next?

And I saw this guy with a tattoo of the Bride of Frankenstein on his entire forearm.

You know, the Elsa Lanchester electricity hair.

And I was like, oh yeah, wait, what is that?

It's the Bride of Frankenstein, but who is she, you know?

And I went back to my hotel.

I was in LA at the time and I looked her up online.

And I was like, yeah, she's so like,

Yeah, so badass.

Exactly.

Then I watched the movie, which I had never seen.
