DP/30: Birdman, Michael Keaton 

He’s great, but the latter part of this comment didn’t age well lol

Kathleen, that's cool that you knew Michael before he became famous movie star, and that you see him in this interview as his true self. So interesting how he explains his job of acting and how he tries to give the director the desired interpretation of the charactor he is portraying. That is the job of a great actor who can give that Oscar-worthy performance thru the eyes of a great director. Thanks for helping Michael pick out a distinctive name, as there were already 2 famous celebrities named Michael Douglas!

You "helped him" pick out his acting name? Michael repeatedly said he picked the new last name out of a phone book on a whim and figured he'd change it to something even better later, but never got around to it before his career took off. He never said anyone else helped him pick a name. Perhaps you'd like to clarify your claim?

"Excuse me, I gotta take this." Puts on the bat mask and walks off camera.

We were on the 8th floor of a building on 57th St in NYC. I was surprised how loud and persistent it was.

DP/30 Great interview nonetheless!

DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood Adobe Audition will allow you to remove the siren sound from the interview without affecting the dialogue.

+DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood Hahaha, yup. That's New York in a nutshell. If I had a penny for every time I'm talking to someone on the phone, only to be interrupted by a loud siren....

John Spriggs Oops. Billy Blaze.

Why? he comes across as honest and unpretentious. He's not doing a PR routine.

What climbed up your ass?

Golden Hare Films Perfectly worded. I hate PR routines.
