What happened and the story about what happened

More fundamentally, I'm interested in memory
because it's a filter through which we see our lives,
and because it's foggy and obscure,
the opportunities for self-deception are there.
In the end, as a writer,
I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened
rather than what actually happened.
