Matt Dillon Speaks
On
if he's a "macho man":
"It's a tricky call. I don't think my guy friends
think of me as overly macho, but women have pointed out that I have certain
macho qualities, that I'm sometimes to aggressive or too angry or too whatever.
When it's coming from a woman I only listen halfway, because she might
want me to be this nice, amiable guy who'd take her to Sunday brunch. Which
doesn't really suit me. I have to have time with my friends, the guys."
On the rumors about his sexual preferences:
"Well, it hasn't come up much with me, and most
of the time it has - like, one or two times - somebody says that to me
and I'm like, 'Do I seem like the kind of guys who would… well… you know?'
I mean, I don't know where that comes from. Then I say, 'Is it something
I project?' and most people go, 'No way! Nobody thinks that.'"
On his car, a 1967 GTO (with automatic transmission):
"This is the problem: You get a car like this,
immediately you have to get into a discussion about 'What do you have underneath
the hood?' I'm like, 'Look man, you want me to open it? It's an engine,
man.' They start talking about valves, carburetors, and I'm like, 'It's
an engine.' (I bought the car) because I like the way it looked. It was
a beautiful car. But it was cursed, too, because it was constantly in the
shop, and it was just a big headache."
On
the type of books he reads:
"It's good to read books with protagonists that
are sort of at your age and the same… I guess I am not interested in reading
books about people where everything is just going great."
On why he enjoys running:
"I need that kind of therapy or else I feel like
I'd explode."
On his "geekiness":
"I'm really not afraid of that side of me… Actually,
I'm totally in touch. I'm totally in touch with my… inner dork."
On the easiest way to piss him off:
"Tell me to relax. You know, re-lax sort of thing."
On
mathematics:
"I'm not good in math."
On his dark moods:
"Yeah, right. Dark Matt. People are just looking
for an angle instead of being truthful."
On the previous generation:
"Our parents' generation, they were raising a
family by the time they were our age. They got us on that one. But they
didn't have the same tools we have emotionally. I mean, this whole John
Wayne thing, right? Men weren't allowed to show their emotions. If they
did, they were considered soft.
On decision-making:
"I'm a complicated Guy. I don't make things easy
on myself. I debate a lot. There's a whole Senate Committee in my head."
On what he'd like to call his memoirs:
"Songs My Mother Didn't Teach Me."
