I guess at that moment in time I had a certain… presence? A certain level of presence in the industry. But that was at Madonna’s request. There was a concept for the video [“Material Girl”], and the idea was that it was kind of a Howard Hughes and Marilyn Monroe sort of idea, that there was this guy behind the scenes making it all happen. And she saw me as that guy, so she asked for me.

I like the Western genre, I think it’s uniquely American.

Western

I mean, it [Southern Comfort] is basically a story about the folly of our misadventure into that war, done in the context of these National Guard weekend warriors who wander into a world about which they know nothing and then wind up wreaking havoc on themselves.

I mean, it was a rough place [“Wild Bill Hickok”], and you had to wear this kind of cloak that you were a badass, and the most efficient way to do that was with your language. Swearing was just a part of how you got by during the day, and it was quite historically accurate, that depiction.

I think it [Trouble In Mind] was the only time Divine didn’t appear in drag, or certainly one of the few times, anyway. Alan created a time and place that was no time and no place, so it was not identifiable with any particular period or any particular city or any particular country, for that matter. I mean, everybody spoke English, but that was about it. So you couldn’t pigeonhole that film.

I think people start rumors because it creates interest and it makes people look at things and become more interested in what they’re looking at.

I think that the film [“Jim Younger”] still resonates, because there’s just something that you can’t fake about those kinds of relationships. When you see James and Stacy Keach on the screen together, they’re brothers!

I think time is elastic. There are moments in my life that are many, many years ago and yet I can conjure them as though it’s a second ago. And there are other things that happened maybe last week that seem like ages ago.

I was accepted to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, which is a terrific Aggie school, and they had a great forestry program. But when I saw the syllabus and realized what I was going to actually have to be studying, there was a lot of science! If you want a degree in forestry, it’s basically a science degree. And I just thought, “No, no, no, wait a second. Never mind!”

I was actually filming in Atlanta when I got a call from Walter Hill saying, “Well, it could be your turn to play Hickok.” I said, “Oh, well, great!” He said, “What’s your hair look like?” I said, “Well, it’s short, Walter, but… I’ve still got that wig!” . He said, “Well, bring it!”
