So, Veruca, what do you enjoy?
Excuse me, but are you rich?
What? Um...me? No, no...I'm just a reporter.
Hmph! Why am I even talking to you, then?
B-B-B-Because you wanted an interview to make you more popular.
Oh, that's right. Daddy did mention that being on TV would make me more well-known. Continue with the questions.
Right. So, Veruca, what are your pastimes?
I love to shop. I also collect eggs.
Eggs?
Yes, the painted kind. Mind you, they go rotten, so I have professionals carefully take the shells off and put the shells in glass cases. I collect these beautiful shells. In fact, over 200 adorn the walls of my room!
What do you enjoy shopping for?
Clothes, mostly. I do enjoy the festive bit of attire every now and then, like bunny ears or cotton tails.
Do you like Easter?
Yes! It's my favorite holiday!
Most people would see you as a brat, Veruca...but when they really get to know you, you're quite nice.
I only talk to those who look interesting. I'm picky about what I eat and who I associate myself with. Yes, people may think badly of me, but I just happen to be very choosey about what I do. I don't think that's a bad thing...but then again, I'm me. No people wish to think negatively of themselves.
At the station where I work there's a rumor going around that you were named after Veruca Salt, a bratty character in a movie called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
That rumor is true. My parents loved the film so much that they named me after a character. Why they didn't choose Violet Beauregarde is beyond me, though. Violet was at least nicer than Veruca...I mean, she had her faults, but...Violet was still nicer than Veruca. And my parents chose the nastiest of all the children to name me after instead. Honestly, I don't get it. I look more like Violet. I look nothing like Veruca.
Well, you could always change your name when you're of age.
I'm already of age. I've chosen to keep the name my parents gave me at birth.
Why would you choose to do that?
People may make fun of me for having the name I do, but it's not my fault. My parents chose the name - not me. If people want to make fun of me they can go ahead! I don't care. I love my life and I love my parents - despite their faults - and...well, Dr. Seuss really summed it up by saying, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
I'm sure our viewers appreciate and admire your bravery.
I'm not brave. I just say it like it is.
But you don't care what others think of you.
No, I don't. As long as I'm not doing anything morally wrong, then people can judge me all they want to and I won't care.
What if you are doing something morally wrong?
Then they can judge me and I'll start to care. But for the most part, I really don't give a rip what people think about me.
Thank you for joining us today, Veruca.
Thank you for having me. It was a pleasure talking to you.
