Amanda Winn Lee: Volume 2 When last we left the garrulous, ginger-haired siren of the animated screen we asked her what radical step she would take to change America for the better ... AWL: Legalize pot (in a facetious tone). I'm all for legalizing pot because there's never been a crime committed by someone who's high on pot. If someone is all coked up or on PCP, they'll go and beat the crap out of someone. But if someone's really stoned they'll just sit there and call Dominos. How dangerous is that? If anything, it is a boon for the economy. The ban on hemp anyway started because its uses are so varied - high protein content, etc. that the big business leaders saw it is a threat to their own products and championed to get it banned.
Luis: Is there a feminist defense to panty shots in anime? AWL: Panty shots are just cool. It's fun, it's "loosen the f*** up." It's clothing, it's your body - it's fun. Not only that, it isn't a real body - it's a f***ing cartoon. Here's a quarter, go buy yourself a sense of humor, bring me the change and then we'll talk. It's a f***ing cartoon, get over it. And not only that but sometimes the panty shots will have little animals and stuff on them, it's hilarious.
Luis: Would you eat a fermented duck egg? AWL: Does it taste good? I would try it. I'm a firm believer of trying everything at least once. Try everything once, if you don't like it, don't do it again.
Luis: Do you feel that globalization is benefit or a deficit to world culture? AWL: I think personal identity is really important, however I think globalization would promote tolerance. Lord knows we need more of that around.
Luis: Would you make up a haiku right now? AWL: Sitting at the bar / Answering these ten questions / Makes my head hurt bad
Luis: Boxers or briefs? AWL: Boxers! I don't know who started the myth that briefs are an attractive thing on a man. Anyone over the age of twelve should not wear briefs.
Luis: What is your worst fear? AWL: Drowning. Or, being unable to breathe. I wouldn't go see "Apollo 13."
Luis: To which city would you retire? AWL: We're assuming that I'm already f***ing rich, right?
Luis: We can assume anything you like. How about both, the city if you were rich and the city if you were poor? AWL: It would have to be something that can keep me entertained. Actually, I would probably retire to Los Angeles. I absolutely love it - I'm such a dork. Although, I would keep another apartment in New York and another in Paris. If I was poor? I would just go stay with my brother.
Luis: What's the best cure for the hiccups? AWL: Big belt of booze.
Luis: If you had to loose one of your senses, which one would it be? AWL: I like seeing and I love touching. It would probably be...well, smell and taste are somewhat expendable...but then I wouldn't be able to taste vodka tonics and that would make me sad. If you lose smell you lose taste. So I will go with smell. I'll definitely go with smell because 90% of perfumes and flowers bug the hell out of me and give me a headache. I wouldn't have to deal with the bitches with the perfume samples at stores. Or hanging out with people who smell like ass.
Luis: Do you have any piercing or tattoos? Check back next week to find out where Amanda has impaled herself in the final installment of our Random Questions with Amanda Winn Lee.  |
