I saw 'Taxi Driver ' and 'Taxi Driver' kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying 'You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Who the hell else are you talkin' to?' That's the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.
Robert Rauschenberg was not a giant of American art he was the giant. No American created so many aesthetic openings for so many artists.
With 'The Host ' I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. I'd love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb he would be amazing... Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities and then Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay.
There are so many different people that I've emulated vocally. In the rock world - Sebastian Bach Vince Neil Freddie Mercury Robert Plant. They all had amazing vocal talent.
I really would love to do a piece like Julia Roberts or Charlize Theron in 'Erin Brockovich' or 'North Country.' They were both so amazing and so inspiring. I would love to touch someone in the way their performances touched me.
I feel completely alone - it's like melting I am the structure and I am also Alain Robert.
