“She’s gone,’ but you know Juno yes? ‘I’m leaving, “No…”, she’s like, “Okay, this is a movie”, I’ll go,’ Juno? Yes I know. ‘She said: “Yes, it’s a story about a pregnant girl,” he continued. “I’ll go, ‘That’s kind of annoying.’ She said, “What’s the annoying about wanting to have a baby with someone?” ”

“But because she is so real and her art is so complete and she knows who she is, the second time she starts talking about her own ideas, I was like, ‘Oh, we do it, it will be great, it will be witty, it will be heartfelt, it will be a fearless leader, there is such a thought.”
