Art Therapy
INTERVIEWER: Lizz, first of all: what a year it's been, first the Pulitzer, then the Tonys, then the Grammy for your collaboration with Drake. I have to say your musical, "Fuck Absolutely Everything Ever And Suck My Dick" is probably the single finest piece of theater no... it transcends that... the single finest piece of art ever created.
LIZZ: Thank you, that is a very courageous assessment.
INTERVIEWER: No, thank you. So, I just have to ask: the darkness in the tone, as well as the themes of pure hatred, coupled with the complete futility of human existence, and how we are all really just marching down a long unfulfilling miserable agonizing road to the pointless insignificant void of infinite death... What.. what inspired you to connect like that to the vilest and most evil aspects of this joke we call being alive? (Pause) I'm so sorry, you must hate this question.
LIZZ: Trader Joe's.
INTERVIEWER: As in?
LIZZ: The Trader Joes on 14th street.
INTERVIEWER: (long pause) So, let's talk about the movie deal. I hear David Fincher--
LIZZ: I just wanted to buy fucking apple slices and fucking greek yogurt and some cocksucking carrot sticks.
INTERVIEWER: Sure. Right, we've all been there. Not literally. I actually live just outside the city. I have a house with a garden and lots of space for my art projects and rehearsals. I don't have to wait in line to get into a mother fucking grocery store. But of course I, you know, empathize. Um. So. Let's talk about what's next on deck, any new projects in the works?
LIZZ: Fuck you and fuck your jerk face.
INTERVIEWER: Oooh, I love the title, is it a sequel?
LIZZ: Yes.
