No. Never. You can't say to young filmmakers that the way to succeed is to steal someone's script, then blackmail them into working for you. Mr. Barr and Ms. Whanau overpromised and underdelivered. That's their mess to clean up, not mine. I said no. No NDA, no project. Apologies and compensation only. - It wasn't my idea to use illegal surveillance and open threats to destabilise me. Wasn't my idea to pitch my songs. I'm not pitching my other ideas until this ends. - As for needing a PhD: nope, don't need one. I'm a respected intellectual with only a music degree. If the university hadn't been telling people that I had to return, we'd be fine. VUW must give up. What matters is that I'm intelligent and perspicacious, not my crossdressing. I'm not wearing the clothes for attention, nor am I wearing them for lascivious reasons. I like the clothes and identify in the feminine.
