Oh, Barbariana!

I once saw Dustin Hoffman speak at UCLA. A student got up and asked, “When you were making THE GRADUATE did you know?” “Know what?” answered Dusty.

“Know that you were all making something great…something for the ages?” Dusty looked confused and a little offended. He leaned over to the moderator and whispered something. At that point a couple of security guards came in and hauled the student away. No one ever saw him again.

I was recently asked this question of Barbariana. Did I know? Interesting. They answer is I don’t know…because I don’t remember the making of this film. I mean, shit, I was so coked out the entire time I’m surprised they ever managed to cover my scenes. Heck, I remember Price even had that blond ballerina from CENTER STAGE lined up to take over if I got one more nose bleed. That was funny. Funny for Price. He lost his kneecaps over that whole dispute. I mean, fuck, I wasn’t gonna be no Eric Stoltz to Jodie Sawyer’s M.J. Fox. Hell no. No fuckin’ way.

Anyhoo, it’s a real honor to be a part of this film, blah, blah, blah but it really was before I found Jesus so I’m not supposed to talk about that part of my life. Anyway. I’m just glad it’s finally fucking done so Darren can shut up about it already. And send me the fuckin’ poster already. People are asking for it.
