| 32001 | 62 | Butch: | It was just kind of...I drifted off the path, and now I got back together with my life and stuff. So, she's [mother] back into it, and now she doesn't have to deal with a lot of extra B.S. that's going on with me, and now she can appreciate what I'm doing because I'm 100% in it. | |
| 32001 | 62 | Butch: | Oh yeah. She's [mother] great. She really is--she's very supportive and more so now than ever before. | |
| 32001 | 64 | Butch: | Well, my father lives in Jacksonville--we haven't communicated in like eight years. There's a falling out in the family, so to speak. Um, I know that he was always very supportive of me when it came to like the stuff in high school, but because there was still friction between him and my mother, it became more emotionally stressful for him to even be invited. So he's just kind of (not audible)....My sister is busy with her own life, so she kind of like--if I could get her to come see one I think she'd come see more of them, but it's just she works odd hours--she works for the police department, so she works from 11-7 in the morning. So for her to come in and sit with a bunch of screaming kids is not her idea of fun. | |
| 32001 | 297 | Rose | Q: | What other job in the world can you get validation for two hours? |
| 32001 | 300 | Rose: | I mean my boss never applauds me after I finish a letter. | |
| 32001 | 302 | Rose: | (laughing) As much as he adores me and loves me, he just doesn't go (clap clap) oh fabulous. | |
| 32001 | 303 | Rose: | Throw money, throw money. | |
| 32002 | 59 | Butch | Q: | So she [mother] can really appreciate it. |
| 32002 | 60 | Butch: | Oh yeah. She cries in every one, just like every good mother should. | |
| 32002 | 97 | Robert: | I'm a--a person who has no self-esteem. I just don't think I'm any good at all--I don't know why. It's just one of those things. It's something that I've just realized in the past year. Uh, so I'm always surprised when people tell me I'm good or they enjoyed something they did. | |
| 32002 | 133 | Robert: | So then I bring in somebody's whose opinion I trust and say look at this and see how it's working. | |
| 32002 | 155 | Robert: | No, I've always said as a director if you get reviews, if the show is good the director gets no credit, if the show is bad... | |
| 32002 | 169 | Robert: | I made the decision to have children | |
| 32002 | 169 | Robert: | An opportunity came up for me to make a decision where I would be in the same place for a long time. | |
| 32002 | 171 | Robert: | my wife begged me to take the job because our children | |
| 32002 | 171 | Robert: | by becoming a director, staying in one place and, and raising my children and giving them some kind of a steady life and a steady income. | |
| 32002 | 171 | Robert: | I made a lot more money as a director | |
| 32002 | 319 | Robert: | People who've known me for twenty, thirty years don't know a lot about me. They know more than most people, but I'm a very private person and I don't, uh, I'm not good at parties and I don't schmooze very well and, so I don't think of any of that as being on stage. | |
| 32002 | 323 | Robert: | Well, my children have, I've been an actor since my children were born, since before my children were born, so they've accepted it. Uh, I don't think for the longest time they understood what I was doing, because, again, I wasn't doing motion pictures or television, so you couldn't sit at home and turn the T.V. on and go oh, there's dad. | |
| 32002 | 325 | Robert: | Uh, they had to come to the theater. And they did, they'd come a lot. And now that they're older they don't come as much because I don't say hey you have to come and see this show. | |
| 32002 | 327 | Robert: | Uh, but they still make the effort to see everything I do. | |
| 32002 | 335 | Robert: | I do. I do, and some of their friends too, who, uh, were around and got to go to the theater 'cause Glen's dad or Deanna's dad was doing a show they got to go. Uh, so I've exposed a lot of young people to theater and I just don't think there's enough, I think too many kids sit home and watch television and frankly most of the stuff on television is crap. | |
| 32002 | 527 | Robert: | Yeah. Yeah, five acts. Okay, then I'll accept that. Maybe act three. Uh, I don't, I haven't auditioned in a long time. Uh, when I get jobs these days it's because somebody calls me and says you want to come and do this show with me and I go. Uh, a friend of mine just called me about going out to Vegas to do LaMancha. It'll be the third time and I love the show, so it'll be great fun and it's good money, it's a short run and we used to live in Vegas so I have lots of friends there, so it'll be fun to go and do, but my wife will hate me because she won't be able to go, but. Uh, you know, I need to get myself back in auditioning shape. | |
| 32003 | 36 | Butch: | "I'm really quiet introverted, and when I'm home I like no one around including the roommates. And I like to watch my T.V., and I don't like to talk to anybody. | |
| 32003 | 46 | Butch: | I don't believe in doing a job unless it's gonna be 150% | |
| 32003 | 104 | Butch: | You're the director of your own play; if you don't like the characters, change them. | |
| 32003 | 106 | Butch: | everything that happens inside your life, you cause upon yourself in one way or another. | |
| 32003 | 116 | Butch: | Ohhhh. We are like ten minutes before intermission. | |
| 32003 | 118 | Butch: | Yeah. Just like when everything gets real crazy, just enough to see well, oops, what's going to happen in Act II. | |
| 32003 | 120 | Butch: | And I don't have any clue what the second act's going to bring or anything like that. | |
| 32003 | 136 | Butch: | So if I was to go to New York it would be like you know, oh my gosh. But, I never know until I try--I'm just not...got the chutzpa to go and try yet. | |
| 32003 | 97 | Robert: | I'm a--a person who has no self-esteem. I just don't think I'm any good at all--I don't know why. It's just one of those things. It's something that I've just realized in the past year. Uh, so I'm always surprised when people tell me I'm good or they enjoyed something they did. |
