I'm not an adonis, that's for damn sure. i've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. my favorite actors aren't adonises. dustin hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. tom hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. same with gene hackman.

My heroes are bill murray and dustin hoffman. those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. also john c. reilly and philip seymour hoffman. they're all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. they're just great actors.

I enjoyed working with dustin hoffman. that was really fun. he decided that to really be effective as woodward and bernstein, considering their differences, we should spend some time together. because dustin and i were very different.
Fun Together Different
Rain man certainly didn't test really well. if you look at it carefully, you have a disease autism they didn't understand back then, they didn't know in the test audience whether it's okay to laugh or not laugh, because it's a film that's done in a way where, "well, maybe i'm not supposed to laugh." at the end of the film, dustin hoffman gets on the train and doesn't even acknowledge his brother. not even a glance, nothing. that's why the studio said, "can't you just have him look at tom cruise at the end of the film?"

We younger negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. if white people are pleased, we are glad. if they are not, it doesn't matter. we know we are beautiful. and ugly too. the tom-tom cries and the tom-tom laughs. if colored people are pleased, we are glad. if they are not, it doesn't matter either. we build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.
Beautiful Strong Dark
...you have to pass an exam, and the jobs that you get are either to shine shoes, or to herd cows, or to tend pigs. thank god, i don't want any of that! damn it! and besides that they smack you for a reward; they call you an animal and it's not true, a little kid, etc.. oh! damn damn damn damn damn!

Tom hanks is a huge superstar. and people tell me he's a very nice guy, not arrogant, not an entitlement guy. but very quietly, mr. hanks has become a left-wing power player in hollywood.

One aspect of our site that i really appreciate is how i put up as much information as i've been able to keep track of: dates, the venue, the city, the country, the number of people there, the door price, opening bands, that sort of thing. one of the very first comments we had was from a guy who said, "by the way, the opening band in albany in 1993 was not the very nice neighbors, it was the very pleasant neighbors." that brought a great joy to me.

I mostly used the studio devices, because i knew what they had. generally i find i'm happy to use whatever's around. if there's nothing there i'll make something. for example, one of the things i tried doing was getting a tiny loudspeaker and feeding the instruments off the tape through this tiny speaker and then through this huge long plastic tube - about 50 feet long - that they used to clean out the swimming pool in the place where i was staying. you get this really hollow, cavernous, weird sound, a very nice sound. we didn't use it finally, but nonetheless we well could have.
