“We are watching industries crumble, Wall Street firms disappear, unemployment spike, and unprecedented government intervention.

“For me, Twitter is a public persona. It's UbuWeb or Kenneth Goldsmith (as opposed to Kenny Goldsmith). I don't interact. It's a lousy form for conversation and opinion (what can you really say in 140 characters?), but a wonderful propaganda and sloganeering tool. I use it as a one-way street.” WayCharacterUseFormOpinionWonderfulStreetsConversationToolsOne WayPropagandaPersonaKenny140 CharacterKenneth Author:Kenneth Goldsmith
“Learning the craft as an actor in Los Angeles is a very hard thing to do, in my opinion. We all come from a certain world and when you start learning the craft, you need material to read/study that you can relate to. We do not have too many Latino writers on the West Coast that I was able to relate to (or at least, I didn't know at the time). I came from the streets, so the most published authors had no relation to my world. As soon as I picked up Pinero & Guirgis, it was all over. It was my world, just in a different location. They cracked me open inside and out.” KnowsWorldNeedsDifferentHardAbleCertainActorsOpinionStudyStreetsMaterialsRelationWestCraftsRelateThings To DoOver ItLos AngelesLocationCoastLatinoCrackedHard ThingsWest Coast Author:Richard Cabral
