More From Mitch Hedberg

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.
Names Two Voice
A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but i don't trust reading the scripts that much. i try to get some friends together and read a script aloud. sometimes i read scripts and record them and play them back to see if there's a movie. it's very evocative; it's like a first cut because you hear 'she walked to the door,' and you visualize all these things. 'she opens the door' . . . because you read the stage directions, too.
Reading Cutting Doors
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
The script for 'infamous' was so poised between tragedy and comedy. it's a dream part. one reads those scripts with a sense of melancholia. when you read a script that good i remember thinking, 'oh, this script is too good. they'll never give it to me.'
Dream Thinking Giving
We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. the paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. to those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. the wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.
Wise Real Looks
I had to audition for fandango. when i read the script, the role that was interesting - so everyone thought - was the role that costner played. he was the cool guy. and i read the script, and my representation at the time said, "that's the role you should read for." and i was like, "really? how about i read for this other role." and they went, "well, you're not going to get that role."

What's interesting to me is drama and conflict. things aren't interesting without conflict and resolution of conflict - or striving towards a resolutions of conflict.
