drones during a pearl jam concert he's also touring with urge overkill bad brains and now with activate again low in the prius part someone who you're too big for the stage but you're here and i am but you know i'm trying to bring in some ratings and have as a kid and then all the sudden a skateboard showed up with metal wheels and small trucks and a wood board no grip tape really primitive skateboarding and i was living in a predominately black neighborhood in wilmington and all the kids my friends were better than me they c do and stand roll down the aisle but they weren't attached to the lifestyle so for some reason i didn't last i don't know why it took me longer to learn so i would literally hold on to something and learn how to tick tack and then it just became kind of like exercising  lifestyle with aggression added to it would be like the attitude and kind of like what happens after the hippies or what people who don't serve can't be just like you know surfing is a little more mellow you know i mean so it's more kind of like centered around the beach and getting to me was like the transportation to that so if you're living in a place like woman to and there's no beach unless you go to dover row but you know i mean so you have to have a car you got to get there you got to get into the lifestyle so for some reason the inner city kids are more into like their gear sneakers what's what's happening in skateboarding now which is like it's like more urban you know and it's making more sense because it's easier to buy a skateboard and live the lifestyle on the street which that was street skating wasn't big back thing because metal wheels on that stuff is horrible but now someone can buy a longboard and be like i'm a skateboarder i can go five ten twenty miles you know to me so back then it was just there was the terrain was smaller now it's a rain is big because you have all these different skateboards you can buy and you have all this terrain you can ride them the park skater you can just be a street skater you can just cruise down hills or you can just kind of disgusting around with your friends you know i mean but when we started i never knew that there was a scene in california i just saw this thing called escape or i just stepped on it i connected with and over the course of time ended up you know your professional skateboarder fashion magazine what are how does that even like kind of was that early eighty's or late seventies will take off after when i started age eleven and by age thirteen i had my first skateboard so at that point i was just kind of mental like well skateboarding is fun i'm in the suburbs of you know delaware i'm having a good time was my father moving from the city ninety five so that's a long quest of just like skating backyard ramps and you know i would have to drive all the way to north north brunswick new jersey to skate my friends back out rep tom brokaw ski you know so it was about two thousand five thousand six months old push towards not or because i'm not sacking and because i thought that was a milicic that me as a kid i won't leave a high school education but scapegoating was able to give me a sense of traveling it will give me a sense of self and being this kind of long haired kid smoking pot and the wrong element yeah well yeah but you know what stuff i think maybe it's a good outlet just another way of doing something amazing and then not that everybody should skate even if you only skated for five years i mean the lifestyle is like you're as how athletic are you you know when you want to be and then you can meet a bunch of great people because skaters at that point were just like kind of like artists you know the music only community yeah you do that oh you're cool now i mean when skateboarders like hard to figure out well you got to hang with the street skaters say i consider that skating to not about you know because of i've had to rehab parts of my body you know by learning how to stretch you know at a later age in my forty's i never stretch as a young kid and that's the thing that skate parks if they would have kept those skate parks it your dad to stop playing with yeah so my dad got me and he basically his shadow i mean he played bass drums guitar knew what he wanted to do but he never wanted to record i think i went to the studio once and you never wanted to be in person was a band called new jersey's finest little bunch of friends of mine from up here but my first like band that i started and my name in philadelphia was mcgrath which i still have i know it was the new album oh this is the first two records you know and a grad still never went away while most thirty yeah yeah thirty thirty plus years we just celebrated that and for that thirty year celebration i gave away p r s guitars for the whole year so i'm like oh i donated a guitar you can hardly like this we recorded vanishing point and towards and then from then on i started playing in other band bad brains came along urge overkill disposable heroes of the pocket the goat was from philly and then just different jazz people people from sun ra you know like professionally was we did six months of torn and we did about three months of rehearsal because we were a band together without a lead singer and we found israel in the end who recorded rise which is on epic records and we went out and we did a bunch of tours with with like asthma and different things so i didn't have kind of the wind to just throw my body around because i wanted to skate all the time even if i was you know i get in from a gig two in the morning and i'd go for it so basically when i was on tour with urge overkill we got to t kid you want to play you know two songs and i'll play the other two songs i'm like no problem and so they ended up pearl jam a record their shows live every one of them the aid that at that point before they started using digital stuff and then they just decided to put it out as like a little forty to overkill yeah because i was on i was playing bass with them on tour they had just released saturation and they recorded the record in philadelphia with the butcher brothers at studio four was that the earlier on that that was a song that was on action is a pulp fiction movie thing because it was like stuff that nash kind of wanted to do but we had that happen on that tour because nash and chrissie hind became friends and so chrissy had this is from all you want to be done about it for something which you know being a skateboard in a punt a car punk rock or how do you deal with the fact when some people might look at you with just disapproval interesting how did you handle that i learned that from i guess kind of being black but then also being black and being in the family black neighborhood and having green eyes and kids call me warlock and not even on the black people not even understanding me and i had to go and understand myself and my family which i'm mixed as white blood i have indian as all different things so that was one thing adjusting to just like regular americans because i didn't i didn't travel far as a youth but once an american grab something aggressive like punk rock or skateboarding people understand it so i would purposely go to high school  cool philly and new york didn't get along that much within the punk rock scene because new york kids grew up heart of the philly kids at that time was most of the kids in the lower east side wasn't built up look as alike they were living on the street maybe harley wasn't but some of those got me john joseph and those they live hard so when i went to new york and i met those those guys reminded me of the guys that would protect us and philly i don't recall thousands of just like neighborhood dues that you couldn't go off your block in philly you know was block to block when i grew up as a kid you i hear it if i see it or if i see someone playing something you know i mean so i kind of utilize it that way you know the music it's a tool that i can use and like it makes me write songs it makes me take challenges but if i don't exercise that too i can't take  which means like picking up a guitar playing or getting around different musicians to learn or touring and learning or over investing in the gear and not learning what it is to like not have money because you just spent two thousand dollars on the guitar that's only worth five thousand and this gives thousand that's when we're five hundred when you go to trade in these think those things have helped me you know because i just didn't want to be bred musician i just wanted to be kind of open the sound and that that's a cause that's an investment thing i do want to plug is thank you for p r s guitars they've been supporting me they give me an ad on the back of guitar player magazine this year which i'm really happy about which promote f d r skatepark this is a company that i'm working with aces in eight and this is the first skateboard shop in jamaica called skateboard palace and so we did a collab with them and sausage and things of mass appeal with afro punk sunday and don mccluskey bristol so i mean it's i don't want to promote my size i just want to be like i guess i cleared the train again this feel bad about that so just you and me here i know it's been years in days and hours and minutes and months and moments hasn't it in fac  i've been on disability for twelve or so years off and on and off so forth  arts that would be kind to say but you've always been so kind public art was painted fiberglass cows a while back  me everybody like the callous but me and me had a nasty habit of commenting every time i walked past so where are you in the city escaped these two girls and was writing somewhere and while i knew i was successful in temporarily giving them the slip so to speak i was also suddenly feeling quite frankly a little free treatment at the columbia university depression evaluation research the part you know i actually left or all the body reaching out to me calling my name  were i'm trying to stay on track with the medications they're providing a gratis and it looks as if this studio in queens might be opening up someone at the clinic keeping us an eye out for me and here you suddenly are with my life is complete guidance from anyone and you carried it all in your head you had the entire modern library in there for it and young the stories lives of the painters the greeks chaucer dante milton the american renaissance the modern the post modern everything i just stared in wonder at that head of yours had her back then too i remember i asked you and you said you came from nothing and i remember thinking how can someone who came from nothing know everything book portable i knew you were a genius susan please the only genius i've ever met and that's why i fell so happily for you else this top color which i wasn't sure might make me look like i'm trying too hard to look forward and i decided it might kno bottle of wine right about sounded good for later tonight bray french lilac an issue of metropolitan home i mean you carry around beckett and i have a metropolitan home you have a home i don't i have an apartment and i do things and i buy things to fill up time i guess is what i mean it sounds like you just  is all besides you were the one who knew the entire history of art i mean you taught me more than a few things i mean it's one thing to have read the sorry but can you imagine not knowing the difference between having a vacancy that cubism you knew the difference what about your uncanny ability to distinguish between a brock and a picasso i mean who else could expect with exactly equal enthusiasm about a shop ready made during a one of the madonna and i've certainly never looked at eva has the same way after i've met you and that color top is definitely not right there never leaves me ok well here at least on a four dollars on a on a freaking cabbage you know and five on this magazine i mean do you know how much this stupid spree cost twenty two bucks and thirty on this bottle of wine i had i had all this money and i could have given it all to you prepared to leave you like this i'm just not so when till you why don't you just come and stay at my place i have the room actually i really like see it's funny but i don't do you know how far my life has gotten from me all too well for a second i thought this was a second chance maybe being handed to us me you if i may be so bold a second chance for what you might  eighteen years is a long time isn't it that was your st thomas in the very beginning i remember my one of my first classes list of questions to follow when you're getting to know the character and understand who they are and where they come from and basically you know just everything about this person and need to know  learn it you need to create it and then that's how it all comes out just really get to know this person truthfully and that really helped that's what helped me yeah and i would also say i have to say i learned a whole lot from doing this just because the play itself is so literate we learned a lot we figure out who the sari was and actually read some of that and you know because it's so much of it needs that context  but which is one of the great things about acting is when you take on a role like this or several others where you if you dig that deep and you really get into the world of these people you will as an actor need to research that stuff and learn about things you never normally would learn about so you know well crafted actors pretty you know wrote pretty well schooled in different things can you know depending on what role they're playing so you learn you know you're clear doctrine you learned enough to be dangerous you know a lot of literary references you but you emotionally in the moment before you came on the train or in the moment you were sitting there what's going on in your life right then it's not about what's about to happen it's what's happening right now what kind of world m i am while on the subway platform character it needs to stay a moment yeah you know but but and you'll see if you start doing when you start doing films you've got to stop and stop and stop and do it again and bring every time we're in the right you know very tiring sure my god if definitely felt what this woman feels you know some of these emotions she feels are very common you know i regret loneliness compassion so all of these types of emotions she's feeling for him and about her life i separate myself from this character because i did a good amount of research and trying to find out what it is because i wanted to be truthful but yeah i was always at least a little conscious of separating myself from the character it was robert doing what's happening i don't even know he's just you know preparing for the interview took him second just checking my facebook like anybody else would you know you get a lot more hits than i do and that makes me jealous well you know i can't keep up with it all i usually just have somebody else to do it but i wanted to come on today to announce that i'm going to be connecting with my fans in a more intimate way if you will  going to be offering this promotion all greetings so if you remember my scene in jericho mountain a better to be feared or respected i should say is it too much to ask for both with out in mind i like to humbly present the crown jewel of the stark industry freedom line it's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary proprietary repulsor technologies they say the best weapon is one you never have to fire i respectfully disagree i prefer the weapon you only have to far once that's how dad did it that's how america does it and it's worked out pretty well so far for an excuse to let one of these off the chuang and i personally guarantee you the bad guys want one come out of a cave now what i'm doing is i'm going to take that and i'm going to substitute for weddings and so forth so for example what's your what's what's your wife's name  sally is it better to be feared or respected sally says is it too much to ask for both with out in mind i'd like to hungary present the crown jewel of th sally's family lime tree she's the first said smith to incorporate their part her repulsive technology they say the best woman is one you never have to marry jody respectfully disagree he prefers the woman you only have to marry once nice way dad did it that's our market does it and it's worked out pretty well so far for an excuse to put a ring on he stuff no this is donated all all all the proceeds go to the random acts of kindness my god my favorite charity and what do they do they go around and they just randomly make th while i'm here do you have any other questions for me that you'd like to ask yes give me a card that you read some business or another that's the business this is the business you're talking about earlier in the year and all that stuff is not a charity ye what do you think of that saying everybody retire you know i think so you know i'm thinking about retiring you know now after acting for so long i mean the why for just kind of looking forward towards this transitionary period you know but chant transitions are so tough because there's you simultaneously feel like limited by something but also encouraged by it so i think no matter what you're doing you reach that point were you want to try something different and something new but you feel limited by what you've done but you also feel encouraged by it so  eighteen i'd been in a car she just many times in a row and it meant as morning mornings in a row is not and and you know like i said it's not about catching up it's more about just making space and time for
