Matt Dillon Speaks
On
The Meaning of Life:
"Life is a series of disruptions and adjustments. That's what it is. That's the whole thing."
On if he's ever kissed another man:
"My father. Are you asking me in a sexual way?
Come on, man. No way. I'm not phobic or anything, but it's not really for
me. I would do it (on camera) because I like the challenge. But it's just
scary. Because obviously, some people go that way, and they like it."
On his most feminine habits:
"I don't have any feminine habits. But traits
that I think would classically be thought of as feminine, would be things
like enjoying beauty. Maybe I spend a lot of time thinking about it."
On
things he considers beautiful:
"I think the Roman Notes by Cy Twombly.
I have a little wood carving of a Burmese figure, a man lying down with
his head on his arms, which is supposed to hang over the door - I think
that is beautiful. I think things are beautiful that are rustic, like Walker
Evans photographs of Havana in the '30s. I have a Weegee photograph that
is cool, because he wrote all over it - it's like a bohemian beatnik thing:
SATURDAY NIGHT BEER PARTY, HOT TIME IN A COLD WATER FLAT. Then there's
running in the park. Central Park is a beautiful thing. Hydrangea flowers.
I have these pink Creepers I got in the East Village and they are beautiful."
On ways in which he's expressed his anger:
"Have I hit walls? Yes, I have… What I have done
is I've thrown telephones across the room. I had a box of telephones that
I wrecked. I didn't know what to do with them. That was a long time ago.
I'm much better now."
On
his favorite Seattle band:
"Oh, God, I think they were called Vector. There was this kid who was younger than the rest of the band. He would pull out a trumpet and start playing in the middle of the set. He didn't know how to play the instrument, but there was something really vital about it. He was just blowing. I loved that."
On Technology:
I don't think technology really makes life easier.
It used to be when the phone rang and you weren't home, you weren't home.
Now if they don't get your answering machine, they can call your beeper
or your cell phone. You can't get away with as much - you have no excuse."
On what he says to himself:
"I give myself pep talks. I say, 'You can do it,
Matt!' It's like I need a partner in crime."
On his appetite and his ego:
"Do you think the two are opposites? I think you
need both for your job and your life. I have a healthy ego. I'm a seeker,
which is why I'm never completely happy. I'm always looking for the next
thing. It's funny, when I was between apartments a few years ago, living
in hotels, I had a huge appetite. I think it was because I didn't have
a home, a base. So food somehow became a home for me."
