Interview with Greer Continued...
“What do you think California has contributed most to America?” I ask. Without pause Gigi exclaims, “Entertainment!” We lock eyes and both break down in laughter. “Care to expand on that?” I snidely remark. “Well, the movie business is huge in California, almost every important arts and entertainment event happens there, and we have the Kardashians!” “They’re kind of a big deal,” I declare. Showing no sign of us joking, Gigi reaffirms, “Kind of a big deal. So many reality shows.” We both understand the hype around stars and fame in California. Gigi especially relates because her dad was in the music industry. “Last question,” I assure her. “What aspects of California do you see in yourself?” “Oh, that’s deep.” “There’s gotta be at least one deep question in this interview,” I reply. She repeats the question to herself as I wait for her final answer. “I like to think of myself as fun and ready for anything. I don’t take things too seriously and I guess that’s kind of what California is like! It’s always fun and active.” We both laugh and fall back into the lounge chairs as the interview concludes.
