What do I want?

Well, I'll tell you right now that it's not the warm fuzzies. It's not that I always resist sentimental moments, but I've spent so much time suppressing my emotions that I find emotional appeals to be like a cheap stunt. The whole wife, kids, family thing isn't really a big focus either. Songs are a big focus: I'd really like to write some songs that outlive me. Movies are too: as we can see, I'm willing to sacrifice a lot if I believe in an idea, but also that I'm brutally honest with myself if I think that my own work isn't up to snuff. All I said was that I wasn't convinced by my screen test, and that was actually my decision to make, given that VUW failed to invest a single dollar into production or IP. I chose to make a documentary. That was a totally fair decision, and they're bummed that it's a hit and isn't helping them.✊🏻 - I'd love to interview Chloe again. I've been trying to get that to happen for ages. She was eye-fucking me on Wednesday during Question Time. I was surprised, but I've hardly made a secret of the fact that I think she's attractive. 🤣
