We Need Movie Stars Not Thespians
No one understands the principle of hard work in this town anymore. Do you think I became who I am solely by my good looks and enigmatic charm? No. It was an insatiable desire to win by any means. That’s how we caught Bin Laden. The ends always justify the means sweetheart. Wait, put my drink in a glass. I'm thinking about killing myself and don’t want to consume anymore microplastics. Are you familiar with Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry? That’s the kind of fucking day I’ve had. You can’t even kill yourself with dignity anymore. Whatever happened to seppuku? Now we’re “unaliving.”
If you want something you look it in the eye and grab it by the throat. If you see something in someone you utilize it. Would you look destiny in the eye and blink twice? Exactly. You don’t even know how to make eye contact. You probably went to a charter school. You probably dropped out of Bennington. There’s a difference between people like you and people like me. You’re making my croissant and I'm spitting it out after two bites.
We need a collective recollection. We need dignity. We need movie stars, not thespians. Remember? Beauty can take you farther than words. But who will have the last laugh? If you see me jumping from the thirteenth floor of CAA you’ll know it’s because I saw something in you.
