Hernandez: Oh, my gosh. It’s so true. Curry: But I live quite happily in my mind.

Hernandez: What do membership cooperatives look like instead of hierarchical spaces?
Curry: I don’t know. I was dumb enough not to care.

Curry: It was like a small loft, and I had a tiny roof garden. That was confusing, actually, because I felt like I was still there.

Curry: There was no guarantee of happiness.
