‘If you could pick a leading lady to work with you next, who would you choose?’
The day after seeing First Blood: Rambo, he went into school with a Fisher Price Houdini kit he had filled up with steak knives and ‘threw them at one of the kids in recess and tried to kill him. It wasn’t until I got suspended and my mother slapped me out of it that I realised I wasn’t in that movie any more. I wasn’t allowed to watch R-rated movies after that. I would only watch Abbott and Costello, and National Geographic films. I wasn’t angry at all, I was just still in the film. I was living in the reality that the movie had created. Like after watching Rocky I came out, picked a fight with somebody immediately outside the theatre and got my ass kicked. Because I thought I could fight. Or when I saw Singin’ in the Rain I thought I could tap dance. I thought life was a musical. My mother had to tailor what I watched.’
