In Magnolia, Claudia (played by Melora Walters with a true sense of Aimee Mann insanity) says, “Now that I’ve met you, would you object to never seeing me again?” I must come clean. I did not write that line. Aimee Mann wrote that line as the opening of her song “Deathly”, and I wrote it backwards from that line. It equals the story of Claudia. It equals the heart and soul of Magnolia. All stories for the movie were written branching off from Claudia, so one could do the math and realize that all the stories come from Aimee’s brain, not mine…Like any great writer, she has the ability to articulate. She is the great articulator of the biggest things we think about, “How can anyone love me?” “Why the hell would anyone love me?” and the old favorite, “Why would I love anyone when all it means is torture?” - Paul Thomas Anderson
