Spalding Gray spoke about Monster in a Box on WNYC, and about preferring to gather his material fly-on-the-wall-style. When Gray went to Los Angeles, his assistant/driver Kao didn’t speak to him the whole trip. A friend told him later she just didn’t want to end up in a monologue. “And here, I just thought she was stupid. No matter what, you’re going to be in it.”
