If I've got any authority in Hays, Mrs. Lake isn't going to pay this town a cent of license for showing, and if any man attempts to stop this show, then just put it down that he's got me to fight.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you don't have the rights, you can't do the show.
I think a show can work anywhere if it's done honestly, with integrity, and with confidence.
You've got to pay the bills, and you want to get your foot in. The great shows usually aren't going to look for somebody completely untested, so you have to kind of get your feet wet doing other shows.
I think the main thing, don't you, is to keep the show on the road.
I think the show has sort of given me a name in this business and allowed a lot of people the opportunity to see what I can do, and it's just sort of like a sweet starting point.
I have a new show now called 'The Bridge,' where I play a guy who's a real-life guy. My character's based on the life of a guy named Craig Bromell who was a cop for 12 years and then became head of the police association, so basically the president of the union for 85,000 cops.
I feel strongly that I need to try to make my shows as real as possible. What you see is what you get.
Show business is a struggle. I certainly wish that I had just blasted on the scene and not had quite such a hard time. But there's a great sense of the relief in that you don't have to prove yourself anymore.
I never imagined myself doing a one-man show. If I'm going to do one, I'd rather do one that breaks all the rules.
This is not a showman's job. I will not step out of character.
