ADD QUOTES
- Sean: (on the chances of a sequel to the film "The Goonies") The writing's on the wall when they're releasing the DVD of the original in such numbers. I think a sequel is an absolute certainty. I would love to be in it. I remain as open-minded and willing to participate as I have ever been.
  Edit Share Hide
- Sean: I definitely loved going on stage, I loved the nervous feeling and the performance and the doing-ness of it. It always felt kind of natural and inevitable and logical.
  Edit Share Hide
- Sean: the first stage I preformed on were the stairs to the hallway in the living room. There was a really nice platform, and when people were sitting in the living room, it was kind of an elevated platform and we would put on shows and skits. That was a pretty vibrant, if safe, bubbling cauldron of a forum to start asserting myself in.
