莉齐称自己的灵感来自于电影《好好先生》中金·凯瑞在办公室里的一幕。
''I was having a bad day and remembered that scene from the film which really tickled me. I figured people were getting bored of the whole ''selfie'' craze - I know I was. So I just applied the concepts of the selfie to this idea and it resulted in Sellotape selfies!''
莉齐说道：“那天我心情很糟，但是想起电影里的那一幕之后忍不住发笑。我觉得大家对普通的自拍已经厌倦了，至少我就是这样。所以我就想到了把自拍和电影场景结合，胶带自拍就这么应运而生了。”
