“Ralph Kramden, as played by Jackie Gleason, was this big bumbling New York City bus driver who was kind of mean and crass and a little bit egotistical.

“I think I'm probably going to have more luck on tour, on the road, than I am at home, because as hectic as traveling can be, I have a little bit more control, for life situations out there on the road. It's the one aspect of my life I feel like I do have some control of. I can wake up in my hotel room, I'm alone and I can ease into the day and do what I need to do. It's not like I've got to get up and drive the kids to school, feed the dog, get to the gym, go to practice, go pay a bill, you know what I mean?” ThinkingKnowsNeedsFeelsMeanLittlesI CanHomeKidsSchoolBitsRoomsPaySituationPracticeDogLittle BitAspectWake UpLuckBillsGet UpEaseHotelGymHotel RoomsHectic Author:Mike Ness

“Describing some kinds of feelings comes across as too excessive in the first person. If you put it in the third person, you're taking a little bit of a distance, and that way it becomes more apprehensible to a viewer. You're always riding this fine line of risking saying too much, do you know what I mean? When you feel you're in that area, if you shift the address a little bit it can alter it.” IfsKnowsWayFeelsFirstsKindMeanLittlesPersonsFeelingsBitsLinesToo MuchFineLittle BitAreasThirdsDistanceAddressesDo You KnowRidingViewersDescribingFirst PersonFine LinesThird PersonSaying Too Much Author:Moyra Davey
