My early childhood memories center around this typical American country store and life in a small American town, including 4th of July celebrations marked by fireworks and patriotic music played from a pavilion bandstand. ↗
The job at Brooklyn is interesting because Brooklyn reflects what happened to university art departments everywhere. It might be the worst department now, and yet at one point it was the best in the country. ↗
First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'. ↗
I believe a great performer is someone who sounds just as great live as they do in the studio and vice versa. They should know how to work the stage. ↗
But I really felt that, something about the lights going down, and the sense of community. I saw this movie at one festival, and there were 1700 people. ↗
I was spoiled and I was arrogant. I was very demanding, had an overblown image of who I was and got a reputation for being difficult. And rightfully so. ↗
My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form. ↗
I'd distract myself until finally it was a combination of things. The show was over and I had time on my hands. I had taken time and played and just relaxed. ↗
