    • I think my life would have to be one of those indie-type comedy-drama films that are really good at glamorizing the mundane life of quirky individuals. Otherwise, I don't think many people would want to watch it. That sounds really self-deprecating. Truthfully, though, I'm rather young and my life, on the whole, has been relatively uneventful. Someone would have to make a film in the vein of Little Miss Sunshine, Amelie, Waitress or Juno, I think, to make a movie about my life thus far truly interesting. Although, those films still have some sort of vehicle to drive the plot. I guess my movie would have to be a little more coming-of-agey, a la Garden State or (from what I've heard) Adventureland.

      Thinking about it, though, I think I'd rather be in someone else's movie. I don't know that I'd ever quite fallen into the role of it yet, but I think I would most like to be the character introduced later on in the film that affects the main character in some profound way. In most cases, I guess that would put me in the position of the love-interest, but that's not really necessary. I think I'd just rather have a sort of pivotal role in someone else's life than star in a film about my own, if that makes sense.
