Don't Blame Me for the Inconvenience, if there is One.

  • 1. What is the first creative moment you remember?
  • When I was quite young, my older cousins who are about my age used to babysit me, and my siblings. And I just remember having this idea in my head, and want to tell this story. You know when you're little and you come up with these completely stolen stories? Well it happened to me quite often. I stole everything. I stole lines from the Cosby Show. So I wanted to tell a story that was basically Goldilocks. I don't even like Goldilocks.
    The bigger part of the story is that I couldn't write yet. So I had this piece of paper, scribbled all over, and was pretending I knew what it said. As if I could actually read this gibberish when I hadn't even learned to read or write yet. But I digress.
  • 2. Was anyone there to witness or appreciate it?
  • My cousins, who tried to be patient and supportive but most likely just wanted me to shut my mouth. My self consciousness probably has roots in this instance as well, actually.
  • 3. What is the best idea you’ve ever had?
  • My great ideas tend to be borderline unbelievably ridiculous or stupid, but this is my favorite. I basically want to have a line of pillows that are a mix with blow up dolls, with faces and bodies printed on them, because body pillows are all ready ridiculous so why not expand on that? A Mila Kunis body pillow. A (terrifying) David Hasselhoff body pillow.
  • 4. What made it great in your mind?
  • The fact that people would buy it. People would give someone money for a body pillow with a famous person, or even themself on it. People seek comfort in the strangest places. And that fascinates me and I would love to 'exploit' it.
  • 5. What is the dumbest idea?
  • I could just restate, but I am very good at being dumb. Let's go through my iPod notes. I once wondered whether dogs could get abortions. I googled it. They can. But let's see. In the past 24 hours, and I think this is the most ridiculous thing I've thought of in a while, I thought I wanted to make a bad Spy Kids Movie.
  • 6. What made it stupid?
  • Well, all Spy Kids movies are pretty terrible, but it's so bad that I can't help but laughing. And that's why I'd want to do it, but it is just such a phenomenally terrible idea that I might have to write the script to save for a rainy day.
  • 7. Can you connect the dots that led you to this idea?
  • Alexa likes to fall asleep with the tv on, so I end up watching bad tv until she's in her deep bear slumber. So for some reason Disney Channel was on, and I was too lazy to grab the remote, but just hearing some of this masterful screenwriting got me thinking about how someone okay'd this. One person wrote this, an entirely different person accepted it, and then actors went along with it. Movies are more than one person, and seeing something so well financed being so wasted is remarkable. Writing it would take one day, having only mediocre plotline and humorous at best dialogue. I feel like I could do it, and do it better, even though the only redeeming quality is the irony that it's a movie. And I'm in High School. I don't know how to feel about it.
