[MEGAN LENT VIDEO RESPONSE INTERVIEW]
*
my favorite moments
<3 <3 <3 ‘IT’S QUITE POSSIBLE THAT NOTHING MATTERS, BUT IT’S USUALLY BETTER TO FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN MAKE MATTER FOR YOU IN THAT INSTANCE, & A LOT OF TIME THAT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE ACTIVELY DOING WITH OTHER PEOPLE – MAKING SOMETHING - & IT’S A LOT MORE SATISFYING THAN TRYING TO LOOK FOR A POINT IN SOMETHING THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY POINTS’
‘I think that [Bruce Springsteen]’s songs taught me how to love. I’m not being sarcastic […] if anyone wants to like him the way that I do, send me a message & I’ll send you a mixtape of his best songs & the order that they should be played in’
‘I feel like I sound like a drunk film major trying to sound intelligent talking about Coppola movies at a party’
‘I don’t necessarily think you have to be serious to be a writer’
‘someone once told me that I was never gonna make it as a writer & I’d die working at a Del Taco in Orange Country, & that’s very unlikely because I don’t like to be around meat & I don’t live in Orange County’
‘all I can think of is my dad telling me […] he told me to always back up your files & save them as you’re working on them’
