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."
