No, that's what I thought she meant at first, and I was pretty horrified that that was how she saw herself.
It took a while for me to understand that what she DID mean is that you don't get ownership over what's in people's heads, and that space between that and your own head is illusory. There is no space, because there is no point that will ever touch and there never will be.
A bit of a homemade existentialist, really.
So, by her rules, if you want ownership over that you in someone else's head, you need to treat it like the work of art that it is. It's a performance art, and until you want to take on that responsibility, you'll never be able to simply be yourself.
If you don't want to take responsibility for it, you need to let go of other people's ability to harm you with it.
Or maybe it makes more sense in Zen koan: Look and tell me the colour of your own eye.
