Matt Dillon Speaks
On his childhood:
"I grew up with the white picket fence. My dad
went to work nine to five, and he had a station wagon. Sometimes I catch
myself thinking, 'Oh, I'll be married with kids and I'll kiss my wife before
I go to work.' But that's not the way it's gonna be for me. I have a very
different life than my father had - maybe I'm gonna kiss my wife and kids
goodbye before I go on location."
On what really scares him:
"It was being young and sensitive and an actor.
There was a lot of pressure, everything was a hurdle. I felt misunderstood.
There were certain perceptions that people had of me, you know… 'He's dumb,'
or 'he's just got a pretty face,' or 'he's a thug,' or 'he can only do
one thing.' I'm not so concerned with that now. Longevity's what it's about."
On the worst thing a woman could say to him:
"The worst thing I could be accused of is that
I'm a one-way dude, only out for myself. But the worst thing a woman can
do is not to say anything. Especially when you're starting a relationship."
On if he prays:
"Not often. But when I do, it's because I'm in
a panic, when I'm desperate or scared."
On another time he wished he could've been born:
"Hemingway's Paris. I'd like to have been a fly
on the wall. But when I go really far back in time, to the days when everyone
was dying of cholera and syphilis and bubonic plague… I want nothing to
do with those periods. I mean, nobody showered. That's why perfume became
such a popular item."
On his first On-Screen Crush:
"I loved Maria Schneider from Last Tango In Paris.
I saw that movie a million times when it first came out, just to see her."
On his innocence fading:
"When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to
get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend.
I can't lie like that anymore."
On if he talks to himself:
"Yes, and I also hear voices… It's how I realized
I'm really sane. I only hear my own voice. When you start hearing other
voices, then it's time to worry."
On if he cries:
"Yeah."
