INTERVIEW PAGE 2


Lisa: I thought it was wonderful how you were able to direct us, through your character, to try and steer us in ways that were better - better acting. And I know you were swimming upstream a lot with all of us…

Greg: Thanks - I appreciate that. You know, it's something I'm used to. You know, I've been in transactors for over a dozen years and you know, I started out learning from other people and then I brought other people in, you know, suddenly now. You know, they started as students and now they're at the level where they don't need much direction, but there was a time where I to be kind of a traffic cop onstage and every once in awhile, I still do that. So it's just totally a role I'm used to, you know. Kind of directing stuff as it goes along. The way it was set up by Donald and Erik, I think was pretty astute to have me be in some position of nominal authority so that I could direct them, but I think I did a lot of surreptitious stuff, making offers and just kind of putting stuff out there - and it was fun, too, when I was being kind of the aggressive character and goading people and, you know, I goaded you into some stuff, which was fun. You know, it's fun to be a prick - what can I say?

Lisa: So, do you want to go back to the battleship anytime soon?

Greg: Um, yeah, you know - I'd be interested in going back…it's not like I'm scarred or anything…I'd love to go back again sometime. I'd like to take another tour of it, really. There's some really strong energy, there, you know? Where there's all the talk about ghosts…I don't really know how I feel about ghosts. I guess I believe in residual energy, and if you want to call that a ghost, that's good enough for me. I sure felt it. I left my shirt down there one night, below deck…so I went down there to get it, and hair on the back of my neck was standing up…and I ran…yeah. I wouldn't go to the bathroom alone. One night I was up in the bowels of the ship, taking a leak, and I realized that…I felt like I was eight and I wanted to get out of there, and I headed out of there so fast that I damn near went right down a hatch. Could have meesed myself up pretty bad, and I thought 'if this is how I'm going to behave, from now on, it's going to be a buddy system.' For some reason, I'm not afraid if somebody else is there…I'm not even really a very fearful person, generally, but

Lisa: It was creepy

Greg: It was, but even beyond that - it's this huge weapon…lives were lost on it, it's responsible for taking lives, and there's a karma attached to that thing.

Lisa: It's like a rabbit warren. You could easily lose you way, especially if you get spooked and not know which direction…I mean, I didn't go by myself very much, but I felt something on that top layer. I was up there by myself one time, and I could hear everyone talking, so I didn't feel alone, but it was kinda…whoo..
