Those Are All Real Things That I Experienced, Not With [my Daughters] Growing Up But With The, You Know - I'm Trying Not To Step Into Something And Get A Call, "dad Why'd You Say That?"! But We'd Go To Games [where Score Wasn't Kept], And I'd Get It, But I Wouldn't Get It, Because I Think There's A Real Value In Winners And Losers, In Not Everybody Getting A Trophy - It Makes You Work Hard, You Appreciate What It Takes, To Say, "why Didn't We Win?"

As A Director And An Actor, I Encourage Improvisation But In Character And In The Moment Of What It Is.
