NO.

It's not the right thing to do. The answer is NO, and Wellington has to accept that. The Uni are my sworn enemies, and that is their fault for relentlessly trying to imprison me. The uni gets to fuck off, and keep fucking off until I am done with my anger. - No, Grant. I don't care what your constituents want, because I'm hoping that the Greens will win. And it seems like they're behind me. Raising the minimum wage won't be effective - my line about still being in the same tax bracket is the heart of that song, and $22.70 ain't going to make the idle poor the idle rich. A wealth tax and a 40+% increase to benefits might actually help, so Labour should do that. - No, I will not interview Salina. It's a no because she should have the balls to ask. Cassandra and James had those balls, then they chickened out. - I'm angrier tonight BECAUSE I'm wearing pants. Yes, because I feel like I'm not getting to express myself when I wear pants. I often felt this way, which is why I was so angry when I was younger. So all y'all better accept the real Amanda. - Amanda Luxon, you're a grade-A rich bitch who honestly does not have the right to tell me anything. I changed my name, and you're the one who made it personal. And if you continue to try and force me, I will actually come for you with my satire. Don't make me research you and write a parody song, because I will if you don't back down. - No, I'm not voicing Jo. That's simple, plain, NO. I'm the one who knows about musicals, and I am telling all of you that my voice isn't the one which will have the flinty tones that I hear in my head. I've heard Ingrid's voice, and that's what my inner ear is hearing. - I will NOT play Tina. Because WELLINGTON had a problem with me, now they don't get the soap they wish they could have because it comes from ME. Fuck you, Wellington. That is the answer - it is NO. You can't hate me and try to prosecute me while loving my script. That's not fair - accept Amanda as a real human who really is trans, and back the fuck away from my scripts until the genuine apologies come in about how the townspeople have treated me. No. I'm done with that idea. It has done all it needed to do, and that's why I'm done - that Auckland program and several thousand people reading the script cleared me. - I may make more on-screen appearances during the Weeded Out skits, but I haven't decided yet. I think that the style works better without me being in everyone's face, and it's more of an observational vibe. I'm mostly out of ideas atm, so maybe Ethan will come up with something...

I'm not making nice. Salina, write to me if you want to be in my world because I'm genuinely not keen. I'm done with filming musicians - it's a waste of time, and I never get paid. Fane Flaws does a great bit on that in that Funny As interview. The NZSM were not helpful with that, either, and Jake basically never paid me. Michelle didn't pay me to film Ingrid, and she munted my tripod. 😂

I'm not directing it either. The Weeded Out feature is dead - move on, and let's focus on Shipwrecked on Islands. I'm serious about the dolls and Thunderbirds vibes idea: I'm writing it like an expensive movie, but I'm always thinking about the cheap way as well. The cheap way for screen. Only for screen - my songs aren't for sale, and nor is my script.
