"Talking back and being quite aggressive about stuff and not giving a care in the world about anyone. So it was more, I think, that way and I think that's what happened in that party when I stood in between two people"
About this Quote
The key phrase is “not giving a care in the world about anyone.” It’s intentionally blunt, almost cartoonish, which makes it feel less like a literal claim than a shorthand for a social mode: the adrenaline of being outspoken, the pleasure of disruption, the way a party can turn into a stage when you’re feeling emboldened. “Talking back” frames it as reactive, even righteous; “quite aggressive about stuff” admits it wasn’t only principled pushback. The word “stuff” is telling too - vague enough to avoid litigating the original argument, specific enough to keep the emotional truth.
Then comes the revealing image: “when I stood in between two people.” That’s not just a physical position; it’s a social intervention, a bid for control, maybe even a rescue fantasy. The subtext is someone recognizing how easily assertiveness can become intrusion, especially in spaces where attention is currency. In actor-speak, it’s also a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how personality, power, and performance bleed into one another off-camera.
