“The book was made as a surprise, by me, for Keanu, as a private gift,” Grant revealed. “All our friends sitting in the room got the giggles when I gave it to him — they said, ‘Please publish it!’ So that’s how we got into publishing.”
When Grant was questioned about marriage, she deflected very well. She said simply, “Love at every level is deeply important to my identity. How’s that for dodging the question? I do not believe that isolation is the way. There is a period of isolation that I do as a painter, but I deeply value the experience of being in relationships.”
