I began stealing a lot of ideas from other directors I had worked with.
A typical day for me is I'm writing when I'm not directing.
The rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic and the best idea wins.
Sometimes when I'm directing, the stage manager will have a good idea and that's okay with me.
I've been living in Portland for five months and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I probably won't really know for years because that's how it works right? You don't really develop feelings about a place till you've left it. It's like a girl or a dog.
When I kicked in the first TV a nineteen-inch Magnavox with wicker speaker panels it felt like the most perfect thing I had done in a long time. And there's nothing like the feeling of perfection that will inspire repeated behavior.
