How good a Little League coach was I? I was a little hyper. One thing I learned was that talent comes from everywhere; it doesn't have to come just from the ghetto. But in Beverly Hills, because Daddy has a grocery store, the kids lack a lot of try. I always thought of myself as some sort of athlete until I started playing golf a couple years ago. I didn't turn the script down. It was the title. It didn't sound... right. From The Godfather to Elf? My agents told me: We're sending you a script called Elf, and I said: No you're not! I don't think silicone makes a girl good or bad. I had my first puff on a joint when I was twenty-four and a half, and I was petrified. I thought I was gonna see elephants. I never rode a bull - I'm not that stupid.I play a guy who believes he's a king. He's the most common man in the world; in fact his family, like his suits, are just make-up. It's about dysfunctional people and dysfunctional relationships. I'll bump into a guy in a bar, and he'll say, I'm sorry, Sonny! It's surreal. I'll see a beautiful girl walking up to me and I'll think, Oh, my God, I can't believe my good luck. But then she'll say, Where's your son? or My mother loves you. I'm sort of a Walter Mitty. I got fewer brain cells than most people, so when I got friendly with cowboys, I started rodeoing. When I was calf-roping, there was something about the dirt that made me feel clean. It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today. It's a very charming movie about the mob - a real stretch for me.My kid was a great baseball player. I thought I had it made. Front-row seats at Yankee Stadium. Then he turned sixteen and wanted to be a rapper. One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding? People wonder why first-time directors can make a brilliant picture, then suck on the second one. It's because they're a little terrified the first time. So they listen to all the experts around them. Showing up every day isn't enough. There are a lot of guys who show up every day who shouldn't have showed up at all. Some guys say beauty is only skin deep. But when you walk into a party, you don't see somebody's brain. The initial contact has to be the sniffing. There are a lot of guys in Hollywood who clap you on the back just a little too hard. There's a big difference between wanting to work and having to work. And I had to learn that the hard way. Now money is very important to me, because I ain't got it. To get over my divorce, I got a prescription to live at the Playboy Mansion for a while. Will is extremely funny. The tights, though, they were a little vulgar. I just looked at the tights and there's nothing funny about them! |
