It's very awesome.

I even feel odd calling myself a writer or a screenwriter. I do when I have to, I put it on my income tax form but I feel like it's a lie, even though it's technically true.  I write screenplays for a living but it's not what I am. When I was young I really wanted that label, I wanted to be something, I wanted to be a writer. There was this movie Serpico. Al Pacino is a cop and he has an artist girlfriend, and there's a party scene with all these different artist types. They're saying "˜I'm a painter but I work in a restaurant,' "˜I'm an actor but I work in an office,', and this goes on for a while. Then Al Pacino says "˜I'm a cop and I work for the police department,'. But there's that feeling when you want say you're something, and you have nothing to back it up because everyone says they're a writer, or everybody says they're this or that "“ this is what I felt "“ and everyone else thinks it's bullshit. It's funny now that I don't want to call myself that but at the time I did and I think that it was necessary at the time, but now it doesn't feel necessary because I think the thing I realise is I'm not those things.

That is not the entire lecture. But it'd be funny if it was. Or were. Or something.

Big thankies to Sreehari.
