With Failure, You Just Try Again.

I Love The Rehearsal Process In The Theatre, And The Visceral Sense Of Contact And Communication With A Live Audience.

Santa Jr. I Was A Cop. Yes, I Was Officially Santa. But A Younger Santa. He Goes Young, Clean-shaven, To How We Imagine Santa With All The White Hair And Beard And "ho Ho Ho." Kind Of Funny.

I Remember Emilio [estevez] And I Were At John's House During The Rehearsal Process. And John [huges] Had Mentioned He Wrote The First Draft Of Breakfast Club In A Weekend. And We Both At The Same Time Went, "first Draft? How Many Do You Have?" And John Said He's Got Four Other Drafts. And We Go, "can We Read Them?" And For The Next Three Hours, Emilio And I Read Those Other Four Drafts.

I Would Go To Trials A Lot In Boston, As Best I Could. And It's Incredible That, Like, Lawyers That Had A Good Case Weren't Dramatic At All. Lawyers That Had A Horrible Case Would Sing And Dance And Do Whatever It Took To Convince The Jury Or The Judge That This Guy Was Innocent. So That Was A Cool Thing To See Because That Made Me Believe That What The Script [of From The Hip] Was Doing Was Totally Believable. Now, Maybe Not Ordinary. But It Could Happen.

Just Because You’ve Only Been Alive For Fifteen Years Doesn’t Mean You’re Less Anything Except Old. That’s All It Means. It Doesn’t Mean You’re Less Experienced. It Doesn’t Mean You’re Less Intelligent. It Doesn’t Mean You’re Less Sensitive. It Doesn’t Mean You Take Things Less Seriously. It’s Like, These Are Younger Human Beings, Meaning Don’t, Because They’re Only Ten, Start Thinking That They Don’t Know What You’re Talking About -because They Do. Don’t Leave People Out In The Cold, And Don’t Talk Down To People -don’t. It Never Works Out.
