Why It's Good Old Reliable Nathan
Friday Quote for the Ages:
"I have taken some classes. At some point, somebody said to me, 'Well, you know, you should study. You should do something, get some sort of foundation.' And I took kind of a crash summer course at the Stella Adler Studio.
I didn't work with Stella Adler. That was real smart. I was working with her cousin or something. I was very young and it was a little too abstract for me. She would say, 'Go to the window and tell me what you see - you know, describe.' And people would go, 'Oh, I see a homeless person and I see the poverty of the world. I see dark clouds, and I see the tragedy of life.' She asked, 'What do you see?'
And I said, 'I see four-hundred dollars going down the drain.'"
