I told Bryant I wanted to do an interview for his stupid class for whatever reason I cannot explain. I thought responses could be pretty funny so I decided to post them here. Who knew that Brendan thought of relationships outside of him and videogames. This is going to be long and I recommend you don't read this unless you are Bryant.

1. What are the characteristics you believe would be essential in a life partner or spouse? If you can, briefly explain each characteristic.

Haha life partner. That shit is hilarious. Well here is what I'm looking for...just not right now obviously.

1.) You have to be willing to communicate. I don't want some stupid bitch that decides she is unhappy about something in the relationship or with me without telling me. "You should know if you loved me blah blah blah" is a worthless excuse. No one can read minds. So if something is bugging you then express it. If not then that tells me you aren't comfortable with me and that means this relationship is not going to work.

2.) Sense of humor. God damn. DO NOT TAKE yourself too seriously. Life is too short to be wondering what other people think. Live your life with no regrets. Live it and laugh in it. If you can't joke with your partner than who can you joke around with? No jokes means no fun which means too serious which means bullshit.

3.) Sense of seriousness. On the other hand you have to be willing to calm down on the jokes when something does go wrong. If something is bugging me and I tell her I don't want her joking about it unless I'm totally out of line. Which I never am.

4.) Good family values. If she has a strong family then she comes from a strong home. Baggage sucks and I know everyone has it but you can definetely try to find someone who has a lighter load than a 747.

5.) For God's sake have some fucking confidence. I've seen relationships where one or both people have little confidence. Jesus shit. If that other person chose you to begin with than obviously you have some good qualities that the other person likes. Exploit that shit.

6.) Videogames. If you can't give me some space then forget it. I'll let you go out with your little girlfriends and you can bitch and whine all you want about how much I play videogames so in turn you let me swear at the consoles for cheating. It's the least you can do.

7.) You must NOT know French. Dirty shit. And NO watersports. That shit is dirty too.

2. What are the characteristics that are important in working that contribute to long-term happiness and fulfillment? If you can, briefly explain each characteristic.

1.) Appreciation. No matter how confidant you are and no matter how much you don't care about what other people think...you like to hear a little "thanks" or "good job" every once in a while. Preferably in money format.

2.) When you come home from the day you gotta feel like you accomplished something. If I make a film and it makes people laugh or forget about their problems than I feel as if I did something. Feeding people their stupid bagels does not do that for me.

3.) Being able to help others in your craft. I hope when I'm successful I can help other students try to achieve their dreams. Of course they have to be good or else fuck them. I hope they fail.

4.) To be remembered. I think that is why I'm going to jump off in the film business...risk wise I mean. If you are good and you make meaningful films you will be remembered by a community of creative people. Can't say the same for most other jobs. Not that other jobs are less superior! =)

3. Which is more important love or work? Explain.

Work should never be your life. In fact I am not going to choose either of these because...YOU NEED TO LOVE YOUR WORK AND YOU NEED TO WORK AT LOVE. Simple.

4. Can 'perfect' love and work co-exist? Why or why not?

What is perfect? To some people flawed love is perfect because they can't see clearly. I think a more appropriate word would be happy and fullfulling love and work. Yes it can. There is no right or wrong answer. It is different for everyone. Some people like to work more...some people like to love more...either way they can co-exist but you need to work hard at both especially if you want both.

5. Do you consider yourself to having a "real job?

I hardly consider spreading lox on bagels is a real job. I don't consider it a real job since this is not what I want to do with the rest of my life. If I loved bagels and bagels were my life I'd say that this is a good job. Since bagels cannot transform into cameras well...shit out of luck.

6. Have you been in a serious relationship? If no, why not.

I'm gonna get a lot of flak for this one I'm sure. No I have not and I don't intend to be in one anytime soon. I'm happy where I am and I'm happy I don't need to think of someone else or how my decisions affect anyone else but me. Film is a fulltime thing and when I actually get to start working in film I won't ahve time for these little drama games. Hopefully when I'm more established I can start to be depressed about being along or dying alone...but right now I don't give a fuck. And that is the truth. It has nothing to do with confidence or with taking risks. All it means is that someone who I care about should not be put on a the back burner...no one deserves that.

7. Are your ideas of work and love different then when you were in high school?

Honestly, NO. If you have known me for some time you know that I have always thought of myself as more "mature" (I use that only for lack of a better word) than most others. The reason is becuse I've seen a lot of relationships. I've been in relationships indirectly. From my cousins to my friends to people I don't talk to anymore now...I have learned a lot by being on the sideline. Like my mommy says, "He is wiser beyond his EARS. As for work. I have always thought I would take the risks while I am young. I have seen people in jobs they don't enjoy. I am not going to be one of them...well not until I fail at that.
