Well, the real Eric Bogosian is pretty self-conscious of himself.
I'm not hip, I'm not cool, I'm not glib.
I provide the bricks and mortar with the words and situations - the director and the actors and the designers build the house.
I write, but I also act.
I know that I'm inadequate, but I never thought that at seventeen. I thought I was doing the best I could. I thought I was being idealistic.
I was definitely surprised when Talk Radio took off as a play. As a film it has become somewhere between a popular thing and a cult thing.
