And so you have to sort of remind yourself why Chicago is better than Broadway or Hollywood.
Broadway, that's selling out.
It's too expensive.
They're stuck up, etc.,
and LA is completely selling out.
Like David Schwimmer was a contemporary of mine.
And just before we got to Chicago, he had just, I think moved out and gotten started on friends.
And so when I was in Chicago, if you threatened to move to LA, people would accuse you of pulling the Schwimmer.
Um,
Which was looked down upon because we're artists.
We're trying to make art.
We're not trying to get rich or famous.
And so I lived incredibly frugally, which is a very polite way to say I lived like a bum.
survived on peanuts all through my 20s i was young and pretty bulletproof so as long as i was doing theater 24 7 you could always get a burrito or a sandwich someplace but having a tv that was a luxury you didn't need one who had time to sit around and watch tv
But there was also this anti-sitcom sensibility.
What would you need a TV for?
Like we're performing the works of Ibsen, which of course was like a pretentious defense mechanism.
But that's why I didn't have a TV.
And it's funny.
I mean it's still something I'm wrestling with where when you look at film and television, you have to ask yourself eventually if you're lucky enough to get work in the business.
