This isn't a negotiation. My scripts can only be produced if you buy me out.


There is no grey area: I'm not a performer, and those who wish to use my Weeded Out screenplays have to buy me out.


I own every word, so those people have to buy my script.

I'm not a referee. I don't wish to be Don or 'the mayor' of the music scene.


You, VUW and Red Scare, have to buy me out.


Not me, my screenplays. You will pay me for the work I have already done and accept that I refuse to play Tina or to work with you.


I own those scripts; I'm owed money and a credit if you wish to produce them without me.


Same for anyone sniffing around - buy me out.

My original songs aren't for sale. They aren't part of those screenplays, and they aren't for sale.


I'm not Barbara, and everyone must accept my offer to buy me out if they wish to use my screenplays.


NZ Opera cannot buy my script or songs, and they will accept casting Rameka.

Seriously. This is how the story ends, with me making a tidy windfall for my hard work, but also maintaining my freedom and independence.


My songs aren't for sale, and I plan to finish Shipwrecked On Islands. 😀
