Gina Gershon

Yeah.

I said this a lot.

whether they realize it or not, you know, every, we were all, we all have that, you know, to what degree we're aware of it, you know, it's all different.

He, when I was in at NYU, he took like 20 of us to Vermont.

He's like, he kind of said, Hey, let's do a workshop.

And then, yeah.

So I worked with him all summer and then the Atlantic theater company was kind of, you know,

born out of that did you enjoy working with david you know he was a really good teacher um he he probably gave me some of the best advice when i was in college you know which was basically you know he's like listen he was nice he's like you're really good you got a great sense of play the only thing i could tell you learn how to direct yourself

I was like, learn how to direct.

I thought that was so cynical.

I'm like, what do you mean?

I want to work with good directors.

He said, listen, in your whole career, you will be lucky if you have five directors who actually direct you.

Learn how to direct yourself.

And I just thought, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

And you know what?

He was totally right.

He was spot on.

I've been lucky with a few directors here and there that have really, you know, directed.

But most of the time, listen, a lot of the times you go on a set, they're thinking about other things.
