Bren Macguff: Well, Honey, Doctors Are Sadists

The Fact Is, When I Wrote 'juno' - And I Think This Is Part Of Its Charm And Appeal - I Didn't Know How To Write A Movie. And I Also Had No Idea It Was Going To Get Made!

I Always Wanted To Strip. I'm Sort Of One Of Those People Who Would Walk Past A Strip Club And While Everybody Else Might Give It A Passing Glance Or Cracks A Joke, I'd Be Like Pressing My Face Up Against The Window Trying To See In. I Was Very Curious Always.

I Think I Have Always Sort Of Cultivated A Flowery Writing Style. I've Always Sort Of Over - Written In Every Genre That I've Attempted. I Went To College And Took A Couple Of Writing Classes And I Remember My Teachers Were Always Incredibly Encouraging. But It Was Inevitable To Get The Criticism: "take It Down A Notch!" But The Nice Thing About Screenwriting Is That You Don't Really Have To.

To Aspiring Writers, I Would Tell Them That We Live In A Wonderful Time Where You're Able To Make Your Work Visible, Easily. If You Think About It, Even Ten Years Ago Or Twenty Years Ago, There Was A Middle Man, There Was A Publisher, There Were Studios, There Was This World Of Rejection Letters. Now, We're In A Place Where We Have The Technology And The Ability To Go Shoot Our Own Movies Or To Put Stuff On Youtube Or A Blog, If You're A Writer, Or Self-publish.

It's Actually Much Harder To Develop A Tv Show Than I Had Anticipated.
