"It was in Tulum, Mexico. There was a dog, [on] the beach there's lots of stranded dogs and there was one that came around. First day we were on the beach and and it was so cute and I just named this one Lucy. And I really wanted to see Lucy all the time and when I would release sort of that grip on wanting so much all of a sudden, she'd appear. It'd be like an energetic experience," [5:23].

She continued:

"I think I must have been a stray dog in another life cuz, one, I feel like, I'm always hungry and two, I feel for them so much and the loneliness."
