Citas

[on his retirement from film and television acting] As far as my own acting is concerned, it's been commercials and voiceover work since Japan (2008). It's the same old shit. I'm driving the car. I've been in so many car commercials. There's nothing special about it.

[on the death of his good friend, Peter Fonda] He lived in Montana, you know. We were planning to get together next month, Instead, I'll be attending a celebration of his life in New York. Peter Fonda had a serious side, obviously, but for the most part he was all about fun and excitement. He was always smiling or laughing or driving a motorcycle or out sailing. With both of us coming from showbiz families, Peter and I simply connected, in a groovy, kind of far-out way. He was a very cool cat.

[on being a child actor during the 70s] I was in lots of movies and British TV shows as a child actor, several other movies, too. El hombre que pudo reinar (1975) was one of them, and I had a few seconds in Tiburón (1975).

[on the pranks and practical jokes that he and his friend Peter Fonda, used to play on each other] We'd often play pranks on each other, like the time in Phoenix when I hid Peter's Ferrari, I told him the police were looking for him because his car had been stolen and used in a bank robbery. I said the car had been smashed to pieces and the police wanted him to give them a call.

[on the filming and release of the movie Japan (2008)] It was released in Europe in 2008, as it had a French director. We filmed in Phoenix in August and September of 2005. Very hot. We were in Paradise Valley at a resort that was due to be demolished a few months later.

[on the movie Easy Rider (Buscando mi destino) (1969) and his relationship with the Fonda family] He was a very proud father and grandfather. He often showed me photos of his grandson, Oliver. Peter was also extremely proud of how Easy Rider (Buscando mi destino) (1969) influenced independent movie-making in Hollywood, how it got him out from under the shadow of his famous father. Peter's father, of course, was the great actor Henry Fonda. His sister is Jane Fonda, and now his daughter, Bridget, has had some success of her own.

[on re-enacting the campfire scene from Easy Rider (Buscando mi destino) (1969) with Peter Fonda, and downtime while filming one of their movies] I'd either be Dennis Hopper or Jack Nicholson, and Peter would obviously be himself. Several nights, we went out on the town in his Ferrari. Peter liked to drive fast. We'd go to bars, and people would instantly recognize us. We'd sign autographs and pose for photos.
