Being an actor started me writing, and that led to directing.
From Chris Eigeman
If I can feel that actual people made the thing, and that they have deeply felt opinions about it, and care about this, and don't care about that and so on and so on - then I think it falls into the 'independent' file.
I grew up in Colorado and spent my summers in Montana as a ranch hand.
There's that great thing about acting - you're wearing your heart on your sleeve, and you're speaking off the cuff. You know, you're fearless about it, and - and it's great. And I love it.
Musically, swing pretty much dominated in the '30s. And into the late '30s, swing is beginning to change over to bebop in the early '40s, which is exactly when this new science of theoretical physics, particularly theoretical atomic physics, was really coming to the fore.
I like a no-drama set. I welcome visitors by and large; I like music playing on sets between set-ups - all that stuff.
I picture Generation X as young adults living in a state of perpetual adolescence.
It was always theater for me. But part of that came out of the fact that I was always acting out as a kid. I was the kid who didn't play well with others.
I never thought about movies. I never thought about Hollywood. It was just being on the stage and being in New York.
My first show was 'No Exit.' You couldn't find a more pretentious beginning, but it also instilled some sense of quality.
