Cooper notes that Wilde effectively disappeared from long-form interviews for about four years and asks if it was intentional. Wilde says absolutely — she needed to get quiet, hear herself again, and step out of the tornado.

Her private life during that period was, she says, actually wholesome and joyful: a tornado outside the door, a nice house inside.
