Juno: Honest To Blog?

The Things That I Write Are Autobiographical In A Surreal Sense, Like When You Have A Dream And You Go To The Doctor's Office, But Then You Turn Around And It's Actually Your Childhood Home And The Doctor Has Turned Into Ryan Reynolds.

I Had Gone To The Bookstore, And While I Hadn't Bought Any Books On How To Write A Screenplay, I'd Bought A Couple Of Scripts So I Could See How The Formatting Works. I Just Needed To Know How A Hollywood Screenplay Looked On The Page, Which Was Something I Was Totally Unfamiliar With.

The Stuff I Write Isn't Strictly Autobiographical, But It's Personal, If That Makes Any Sense. It Draws All These Little Incidents And People Out Of My Life And Then Contorts Them.

For Me, Stripping Was An Unusual Kind Of Escape. I Had Nothing To Escape But Privilege, But I Claimed Asylum Anyway. At Twenty-four, It Was My Last Chance To Reject Something And Become Nothing. I Wanted To Terrify Myself. Mission Accomplished.

There's Probably No Experience More Alienating Than Fame, Other Than A Terminal Illness, Where You Actually Find Yourself In A Situation That Nobody Around You Can Relate To.
