GREG

INTERVIEW PAGE 3

Greg: I really enjoyed Ruyon there, because he seemed to know what everything was about… it was neat to have a sea-faring man exploring this. It's one thing to say - that's interesting, but it's another thing to have someone say why that's interesting. It was fun, reminded me of church retreats when I was a kid and you'd go running around the church at night - kinda exploring and checking stuff out. Goofing around.

Lisa: Think you'd do another movie..not locked in a small room, but the same format?

Greg: Yeah, sure, I'd definitely do another one..I'm real interested in that.Yeah, I would do one in a heartbeat. Sure, why not. Definitely believe in the improvisation process, and that sort of thing. But by the same token, I'm not sure whether film is the best medium for improvisation. You know, but I don't know…I guess so much depends on what the premise is, and who's involved, but I would certainly want to do another one.

Lisa: Do you feel like your character changed at all, because of what people put on you - as a result of what happened in there?

Greg: Yeah, I mean - I tried to be open to that…to what people were giving me and letting that change me, but yeah - it was challenging…to be given certain things and also to stay true to whatever your character had been so far and not deny the reality that had already been set up. I did feel, towards the end…I started out being really obnoxious, and I think I wound up, still being obnoxious, but I think feeling more sympathetic to my character at the end. Sort of like 'this guy's a real drip, but he sort of knows what's going on…' Abrasive enlightenment to a certain degree. I keep thinking about Torrey and the trouble he was having and I was being very confrontational, you know, but trying to get him to look at the sort of Zen principle of expectations, and is this helping you, and seeing what is instead of what could be, and he was really out of it by then. And that's too bad. But again, it's interesting to hear that and sort of go 'What do you think about that, Greg?' Instead of the character you.

Lisa: It's interesting…the things we've talked about have been different from the things I've asked other people. I feel for me, talking to you, some of those questions were obviously the same, but I guess because I felt like you were the person in the group that had the most experience…most of us were just doing the best we could, with what we had…you wore a lot of hats…so it's hard for me to think, you know - the greg way…to wonder what your perspectives might have been. It's funny, having talked to Sam…just being eighteen…his __ about death, it's not there, because you're not going to die when you're eighteen. The things he remembers are the kiss, and the tension around it, and all of us watching - how his parents are going to feel watching him kiss her…

Greg: Proud, I would imagine…

Lisa: But talking to you, you've really seen this parallel, or synchronicity…(something too low)

Greg: What do other people say?

Lisa: Like Chris, his acting experience was Dog Nights - his feeling about acting is no more than being a bus driver for a week…I feel so lucky to be part of the process, it's so totally out of my normal life. I think in some ways, I haven't quite absorbed it all…To have that moment of team work, of playng ball, so it doesn't feel like we're at each other's throats all the time.
