Video Archives

• worked at a video store for five years, became quite close with co-workers who were all interested in some creative endeavour (writing, film making, art etc)
• Video Archives went out of business when Q left, he was such a big part of it
• Got fired from his job at the lounge because he was under aged
• began acting lessons at James Best Acting Lounge
• Quentin definitely belonged in his place of work (Video Archives, a video store) because of his vast knowledge of videos
• For a while, Quentin was a disappointment to his mother who had worked as hard as possible for herself and her son for dropping out of school and pursuing his dreams of film making and acting
• Took movies very seriously, was very upset (perhaps too upset) when disrupted by talking during a movie (even opening credits!)
• Very opinionated, would take up arguments about filmmakers and films even with people he didn't know very well
• Video Archives was like a second home where Quentin and his co-workers had access to money to use for food, and access to a place to sleep at times.
• Once went to a plastic surgeon to see if his jaw could be shortened because Q wanted more acting roles
• usually only nice when it benefited him/was in his own interests, could be a trickster at times (got people to do his bidding)
• used to the account numbers of female costumers, and changed their name to something like "Dreamgirl" and show them, and it worked (Creative!)
• True romantic
• Grace Lovelace, who he met through the movie store, was the "love of his life" and got her a job
• She left briefly but returned to his life
• Q seems to gravitate towards strong women, probably because of his strong-willed mother (and her influence on Q)
