Interview (Written): Mark Duplass

An A.V. Club 11 Question interview with writer-actor-director Mark Duplass:

1. What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?

Mark Duplass: I will not name it, but I had a do a rewrite for a certain studio on a screenplay, and — uff. I don’t even want to get into it. Bad, bad, bad, bad rewrite job.

The A.V. Club: Was it was hard for you to do it, or it was a hard movie, or it was hard to deal with them?

MD: We were not a great fit. It was bad on all fronts.

AVC: And it was worse than anything you ever did in high school?

MD: Honestly, I worked at a cleaner’s, but that job was fine. I worked as a bus boy; I was making 11 dollars an hour. I didn’t have any expectation that [that job] would be good. I think it’s good to do your day job stuff outside of your art. The worst jobs are when you’re inside of your art and bastardizing that for your day job. So, to me, McDonald’s is much better than a bad rewrite job.
