George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Jenny Racicot describes in detail how Graham Platner allegedly forced his way into her home while “heavily intoxicated” and ignored her repeated refusals. She says he jumped on top of her with clear sexual intentions despite her saying no multiple times. RACICOT: “It was a night where him and I were texting back and forth and he had taken something that I said as, as an invitation, and that’s not how I meant it.” “And I quickly clarified, and he sent a message back indicating that he would come over.” “And I said, no, don’t come over. Like I’m not in the mood. Don’t come over. And I was more stern with that message.” “And then I didn’t hear back from him. So I thought that that meant he got the message or gave up on it or whatnot.” “And so um, like half an hour later, I heard a noise outside my door and, um, then he, he came in, he just came into my house. It was unlocked. I live in an area where you don’t usually have to lock your doors. Um, I do now.” “So, um, he came in and I realized, okay, he didn’t listen. He’s in my home and I was laying on the couch.” “And so he had kind of like jumped on top of me and indicated that he had intentions that were sexual in nature.” “And I remember just at first being like, hey, I’m not into this. Like, don’t, I’m not in the mood. Like, don’t whatever.” “Um, and it got to the point where I was like, okay, I feel like I’ve said this enough times. Like he’s not listening to me or he’s not hearing me.” “And I looked at him and I remember this very specific look in his eyes, and I could smell alcohol.” “And I was like, this is different. He is heavily intoxicated, like, and that blank stare was kind of like a photographic memory that, that I still have of that night.” “That was me recognizing what the situation was. And this wasn’t just like, oh, hey, somebody showed up and I’m going to tell him to go home. Like he was heavily intoxicated and had intentions with me and wasn’t listening when I said no.”

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.
