“When I started acting in the film industry when I was 16 years old, in 1980, I was going to all the revival theaters in Los Angeles. They were playing mostly films from the '60s and '70s, some from the early '20s and '30s, before that Hays commission. Those films did question things a lot, and there definitely was a switch in 1934. You can see very distinctly in 1934, it's harder to understand what the real culture was. Films made before 1934, you can really kind of see the racism, sexism, drug use, etc. that was going on at that time. And then it was all stopped.” YearsKindMadeRealUseFilmCultureActingIndustryDrugRacismHarderTheaterEtcLos AngelesSexismRevivalFilm IndustryHayDrug UseEarly 20s Author:Crispin Glover
“It's frustrating when people get upset with me about not going out to DVD - the reason is that I plan to tour with the films for many, many years, not just a month or a week. Literally years. And as soon as I would put it out on DVD, it would ruin the financial possibilities of me making it a theatrical event. Whereas the book, the publishing of a screenplay, would not cause that problem.” PeopleBookReasonProblemFilmWeekPossibilityFinancialUpsetPublishingFrustratingTheatrical Author:Crispin Glover
“My interest in music tends toward being orchestral music. And the repertoire of music that exists is, to me, far more emotive than what is standardly used in movie scores. That isn't always. I think there've been some excellent movie scores by excellent directors. But for the most part, watching a film, one of today's movies, I think that the emotional undertone of movie scores is pretty poor.” ThinkingFilmInterestPoorEmotionalExcellent Author:Crispin Glover

“Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite. The only true cinema verite would be what Andy Warhol did with his film about the Empire State Building - eight hours or so from one angle, and even then it's not really cinema verite, because you aren't actually there.” StatesWould BeFilmHoursBuildingEightCinemaEmpiresRealismAngleSubjectiveWarholEmpire State BuildingEmpire State Author:Crispin Glover
