Nice. I discovered Shepard through his acting, and I always knew that if he was doing a character, it'd be interesting. I haven't read much of his writing, but what I have read has impressed me. What was stuck in my head last week was a comment he made about doing movies -- he said he could do 16 plays with every movie he did. So he was focused on what was important to him, something I could learn. Absolutely.
