Vincent Gallo: Uh-huh. I have no publicist, no agent, no manager, no lawyer, no assistant, no helper, no stylist, no intern, no maid, no gardener, nothing. Oh, I have a dentist. I had a shrink but he died 9 years ago, right when I needed him most. As for friends I have one. She’s a girl. I like her a whole lot though she is a passive aggressive, makes a lot of excuses, and plays dumb.

I think the liberal mainstreamers in the press may be trying hard to eliminate antagonism and they may not have a sense of humor. In any case they seem to react harshly to things I say that they feel are offensive racially, religiously or regarding sexual preference. What is so odd to me is that if we are all equal and truly connected which I believe, then my remarks make no sense other than as humor. Yet my comments enrage so many who pantomime sensitivity in this regard. No hate group of any kind has ever reached out to me yet pet testing protesters, tree huggers, gay pride marchers and a few dark skins have threatened my life with hate like I have never known.
====================
Chloe (Sevigny) is not a very exciting person to hear speak so I am ok with not having her reflect on my film. As she is so self-serving, she probably chose to distance herself from the film since the Cannes pressure. Soon after Cannes she refused to do press with me and had the film removed from her bio. She must see something in distancing herself from me and my film that will bring her in favor with the mainstream.

When we asked if he enjoyed working with Ricci, Gallo growled, "It was OK when she wasn't drunk on the set. I think she's an alcoholic - it was either that, or she was on cough syrup the whole time.
"I don't like her," Gallo continued. "She's an ungrateful cunt. But it was OK. She's basically a puppet. I told her what to do and she did it."
Gallo also sniped about the voluptuous Ricci's fluctuating weight during filming: "She lost 17 pounds, and that was because I only let her eat one whole pizza pie every day."
