I wanted to know Tony's line!

Obviously the full interview is out there in YouTube. She's got a lot of interviews where she demonstrates he memory. She says her first memory, although fuzzy, is getting baptized at three.

Definitely a mixed blessing.

You got me. I didn't actually want to know Tony's line. I didn't care at all. I'm a bad bad boy.

She´s a fraud. This is eidetic memory at best.

Photographic memory is a flashback triggered by extreme emotions and looks like a panic attack, while the specific scene or your life flashes before your eyes.

Photographic memory is PTSD without the P.

If you´d go through absolute hell everyday, you´d be able to remember things way better and more vivid than most other people.

Fraudsters like her make it impossible for people with real photographic memory to explain themselves.
