Emma Stone
I just want to say: I met Emma when we were in Zombieland together
in 2009 and since then I write little magazine articles and little things
on McSweeney's and she's like the only person — and I'm including my
mom here — who would take little screenshots of it over the last 15
years and send me things like, "This is such a funny line." And at the
time — and definitely still - she was like the most famous person
I knew. And yet the most dedicated to encouraging me as a writer.
U think abouther not asmyproducer but as a fairy godmother that l am
riding the coattails of her goodwill. And I think it's so important that
someone like her, who is so unbelievably successful in mainstream
movies, looks for people like me and Julio [Torres] and Jane
[Schoenbrun] to try and produce our movies with all the goodwill that
she's amassed so rightly and deservedly over the last several years.
Thanks, Emma•
