Background Information "I Was Thinking About The Way Sexuality Is Expressed In London And I Felt Like You Know It Was Just So In Your Face All The Time And Being A Woman You Really Have To Use It And Put It In People's Faces To Get Ahead. And I Wondered What That Was Doing To - Like In Sri Lanka Sexuality Is A Whole Other Ballgame You Know What I Mean? And It's So Naive And It's So Basic And People Have No Outlet For Meeting People And Young People Don't Have Anywhere To Hang And Stuff And So When You Get On The Bus You Can Really Feel The Tension Between Boys And Girls - That's The Only Place They Meet On A Transport. So I Was Thinking About How It's An Unsaid Thing Over There And It's In Your Face Over Here And How People Perceive It And Stuff. And Then I Felt Like If I Was Abducted And Being Held For Ransom In The Middle Of The Amazon I Would Actually Try To Make A Go Of It And Try To Fall In Love With My Hostage-Taker Person And Like Set Up Shop! Laughs I Think If You Spend Enough Time With Anyone You Can Come To Love Anyone. There Just Doesn't Have To Be Any Hate Involved 'cause It's Actually About Getting To Know That Individual Human Being And Why They're Doing The Thing They're Doing And Trying To Understand It. I Felt At That Point That I Could Be So Understanding Of Anybody That Even If Somebody Took Me To Kill Me In The Middle Of Nowhere I'd Still Give It A Go And Try To Understand Him." "There's A Better Way Of Making All Of That Make Sense And I'm Sure Somebody Else Will But I Was Just Really Frustrated And Bored Of It In London. I Was Like This Is Really Boring How Much Of It Is In Your Face And How Do You Restore Some Sort Of Mystery Back Into It You Know?"

Background Information
"I was thinking about [the way sexuality is expressed in London], and I felt like, you know, it was just so in your face all the time, and being a woman, you really have to use it and put it in people's faces to get ahead. And I wondered what that was doing to - like, in Sri Lanka, sexuality is a whole other ballgame, you know what I mean? And it's so naive and it's so basic, and people have no outlet for meeting people and young people don't have anywhere to hang and stuff, and so when you get on the bus, you can really feel the tension between boys and girls - that's the only place they meet, on a transport. So I was thinking about how it's an unsaid thing over there, and it's in your face over here, and how people perceive it and stuff. And then I felt like if I was abducted and being held for ransom in the middle of the Amazon, I would actually try to make a go of it and try to fall in love with my hostage-taker person, and, like, set up shop! [Laughs] I think if you spend enough time with anyone, you can come to love anyone. There just doesn't have to be any hate involved 'cause it's actually about getting to know that individual human being and why they're doing the thing they're doing, and trying to understand it. I felt at that point that I could be so understanding of anybody that even if somebody took me to kill me in the middle of nowhere, I'd still give it a go and try to understand him."
"There's a better way of making all of that make sense and I'm sure somebody else will, but I was just really frustrated and bored of it in London. I was like, this is really boring how much of it is in your face, and how do you restore some sort of mystery back into it, you know?"
