20
00:25:31,993 --> 00:25:36,094
<i>Claude, I've been travelling
searching for answers</i>

21
00:25:36,129 --> 00:25:38,360
<i>because this bird, the flamingo,</i>

22
00:25:38,395 --> 00:25:40,230
<i>it's been
quite like a nightmare.</i>

23
00:25:40,265 --> 00:25:41,572
<i>Do you know the story</i>

24
00:25:41,607 --> 00:25:45,642
behind the first flamingo
that got produced here, then?

25
00:25:45,677 --> 00:25:48,304
Well, the company
was making plastic products

26
00:25:48,339 --> 00:25:50,680
and they hired an artist

27
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:52,781
<i>to develop
new products for them.</i>

28
00:25:52,816 --> 00:25:55,113
<i>He saw
in the National Geographic,</i>

29
00:25:55,148 --> 00:25:56,653
<i>a picture of the pink flamingo</i>

30
00:25:56,688 --> 00:25:58,215
<i>and he was intrigued by it.</i>

31
00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:00,448
<i>So he decided to draw one</i>

32
00:26:00,483 --> 00:26:02,659
and then carve one out of wood.

33
00:26:02,694 --> 00:26:04,353
And do you know the name
of the artist?

34
00:26:04,388 --> 00:26:06,630
Yes. His name was
Don Featherstone.

35
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:07,631
I'm the guy.

36
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:09,457
His name is actually molded

37
00:26:09,492 --> 00:26:12,867
right on all of the
plastic birds that we produce

38
00:26:12,902 --> 00:26:14,099
People often asked him,

39
00:26:14,134 --> 00:26:16,574
why did you make this stuff?

40
00:26:17,104 --> 00:26:18,807
And he just says,

41
00:26:18,842 --> 00:26:20,908
"Because it brings joy
to a lot of people."

42
00:26:20,943 --> 00:26:22,371
<i>When you made that flamingo</i>

43
00:26:22,406 --> 00:26:24,846
what inspired you as an artist?

44
00:26:25,114 --> 00:26:25,979
Money.

45
00:26:26,014 --> 00:26:27,882
He was kind of...

46
00:26:27,917 --> 00:26:30,577
different I should say.

47
00:26:30,612 --> 00:26:32,854
<i>He was very devoted to his wife.</i>

48
00:26:32,889 --> 00:26:35,351
<i>Everywhere they went,
they went together.</i>

49
00:26:35,386 --> 00:26:37,353
<i>And dressed alike</i>

50
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:39,025
<i>with flamingos on their clothes.</i>

51
00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:41,192
<i>Both wore the same...</i>

52
00:26:41,227 --> 00:26:42,831
<i>- Same clothes.
- Pattern.</i>

53
00:26:42,866 --> 00:26:43,898
<i>Same pattern.</i>

54
00:26:43,933 --> 00:26:45,262
- Same colors.
- Everyday.

55
00:26:45,297 --> 00:26:46,263
Everyday.

56
00:26:46,298 --> 00:26:48,001
And she makes
all of the clothes.

57
00:26:48,036 --> 00:26:49,134
Everything.

58
00:26:49,169 --> 00:26:51,532
From swimsuits to pajamas,

59
00:26:51,567 --> 00:26:54,975
to dress outfits,
to play outfits.

60
00:26:55,010 --> 00:26:58,143
365 days a year, you name the occasion,
we're ready.

61
00:26:58,178 --> 00:27:02,213
<i>They're just two people
that are different.</i>

62
00:27:02,248 --> 00:27:04,721
They love one another
very, very much.

63
00:27:07,187 --> 00:27:10,122
<i>This is the product
we probably sell the most of.</i>

64
00:27:10,157 --> 00:27:12,487
<i>And it's been
very, very popular.</i>

65
00:27:12,522 --> 00:27:14,962
<i>It always seems
to increase in sales.</i>

66
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,593
<i>People do love them.</i>

67
00:27:19,628 --> 00:27:22,464
The reason why?
I have no idea.

68
00:27:22,499 --> 00:27:24,741
Yeah. You know
they have their knees, like...

69
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:27,975
They work the other side, right?

70
00:27:28,010 --> 00:27:29,603
- Yes, that's right.
- That's weird.

71
00:27:29,638 --> 00:27:32,375
- They bend opposite of what we bend.
- Yeah.

72
00:27:32,410 --> 00:27:34,146
Do you have flamingos
in your house?

73
00:27:34,181 --> 00:27:35,312
I do not.

74
00:27:35,347 --> 00:27:36,720
- Hmm

75
00:28:18,423 --> 00:28:21,457
<i>I'm here because I heard that...</i>

76
00:28:21,492 --> 00:28:25,263
<i>in the '70s you did a prank,
a huge prank.</i>

77
00:28:25,298 --> 00:28:27,771
Can you tell me
something about it?

78
00:28:27,806 --> 00:28:30,972
Sure! There was a student
on campus

79
00:28:31,007 --> 00:28:34,437
who had just been elected
to lead student government.

80
00:28:34,472 --> 00:28:37,605
<i>Leon the Barbarian!</i>

81
00:28:39,081 --> 00:28:40,751
<i>In 1979,</i>

82
00:28:40,786 --> 00:28:43,182
<i>this student named Leon Varjian</i>

83
00:28:43,217 --> 00:28:44,953
<i>and his colleagues</i>

84
00:28:44,988 --> 00:28:49,551
planted 1,008 flamingos
on Bascom Hill.

85
00:28:59,332 --> 00:29:01,101
<i>So it was like
a celebration then?</i>

86
00:29:01,136 --> 00:29:04,808
<i>It was. They had these
1,008 flamingos planted there</i>

87
00:29:04,843 --> 00:29:06,700
<i>to be a little bit irreverent</i>

88
00:29:06,735 --> 00:29:09,373
and humorous as a way
to start the school year.

89
00:29:09,408 --> 00:29:13,146
It was a way to
show the administration

90
00:29:13,181 --> 00:29:16,446
that the students were in charge

91
00:29:16,481 --> 00:29:18,888
and that they could do things
the way they wanted to.

92
00:29:22,652 --> 00:29:25,422
They used, um, some funds

93
00:29:25,457 --> 00:29:28,392
to construct a model
of the Statue of Liberty

94
00:29:28,427 --> 00:29:31,164
and put it out on the frozen
Lake Mendota

95
00:29:31,199 --> 00:29:33,232
- and was underwater.
- Underwater, yeah.

96
00:29:33,267 --> 00:29:34,838

109
00:32:54,303 --> 00:32:57,205
I didn't expect it
to be like so, uh...

110
00:32:58,307 --> 00:32:59,372
overwhelming.

111
00:32:59,407 --> 00:33:02,606
Do you have,
how many items of flamingos?

112
00:33:02,641 --> 00:33:05,444
I have been keeping a tally
of what I have now

113
00:33:05,479 --> 00:33:07,215
and it's 1,069.

114
00:33:07,910 --> 00:33:09,009
And growing.

115
00:33:09,045 --> 00:33:10,955
So you're the biggest
collector in the world, right?

116
00:33:10,979 --> 00:33:14,321
Yeah.
According to Guinness, I am.

117
00:33:14,356 --> 00:33:17,918
I don't remember
the first flamingo,

118
00:33:17,953 --> 00:33:20,426
but one of the oldest
that I have

119
00:33:20,461 --> 00:33:22,263
is up on the shelf up there

120
00:33:22,298 --> 00:33:25,200
and it's got
a coconut head body.

121
00:33:25,235 --> 00:33:27,532
And it was very popular
in the '60s,

122
00:33:27,567 --> 00:33:30,271
as souvenirs for tourists.

123
00:33:30,306 --> 00:33:32,372
So I have about
60 of those at the house.

124
00:33:32,407 --> 00:33:35,837
- But I don't think
enough for Guinness to...

125
00:33:39,007 --> 00:33:40,512
Oh!

126
00:33:44,881 --> 00:33:46,452
Flamingo time.

127
00:33:47,983 --> 00:33:50,720
It moves? Wow.

128
00:33:50,755 --> 00:33:53,195
Believe it or not, I have never been
with a flamingo.

129
00:33:53,956 --> 00:33:55,593
Like physically?

130
00:33:55,628 --> 00:33:56,891
I love flamingos, but

131
00:33:56,926 --> 00:33:59,168
I can't have any in my backyard.

132
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:00,708
- You know, 'cause you need...
- They're wild. Yeah.

133
00:34:00,732 --> 00:34:04,569
Yeah. You need a permit
to raise them.

134
00:34:04,604 --> 00:34:06,571
Yeah, and also
they fly away, right?

135
00:34:06,606 --> 00:34:09,838
Yeah, but you can, um,
clip their wings.

136
00:34:09,873 --> 00:34:11,444
And it doesn't hurt.

137
00:34:11,479 --> 00:34:13,479
Is it legal to clip their wings?

138
00:34:13,514 --> 00:34:15,547
Yeah. All the zoos do it.

139
00:34:15,582 --> 00:34:18,154
You know, that have them
in captivity.

140
00:34:18,189 --> 00:34:19,749
- So they don't fly away.
- Hmm.

141
00:34:19,784 --> 00:34:21,322
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's true.

142
00:34:21,357 --> 00:34:22,257
Yeah.

143
00:34:22,292 --> 00:34:24,226
So are you planning to like...

144
00:34:27,858 --> 00:34:30,232
Oh, and just, er,
if you're wondering,

145
00:34:30,267 --> 00:34:32,993
my tiara here
is all real feathers.

146
00:34:33,028 --> 00:34:34,830
Oh, those are amazing.

147
00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:36,634
It's incredible how like,

148
00:34:36,669 --> 00:34:40,242
so many people come to you
and exchange this object.

149
00:34:40,277 --> 00:34:42,904
It's like, for energy, in a way

150
00:34:43,577 --> 00:34:45,643
and do this pilgrimage...

151
00:34:45,678 --> 00:34:47,744
Why do you think
that this happens?

152
00:34:47,779 --> 00:34:51,583
Some of them don't have
anybody to talk to.

153
00:34:51,618 --> 00:34:55,554
So they start telling me things

154
00:34:55,589 --> 00:34:58,458
and they say, "I don't know
why I'm telling you this."

155
00:34:58,493 --> 00:35:01,560
But it's because of
all this in here.

156
00:35:01,595 --> 00:35:06,136
The energy or whatever,
pulls out of people.

157
00:35:06,171 --> 00:35:08,061
But they wanna talk to me about,

158
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:11,064
you know, their spouse dying

159
00:35:11,099 --> 00:35:15,310
or something that's been bad
in their life.

160
00:35:15,345 --> 00:35:16,971
But it's usually a death.

161
00:35:17,644 --> 00:35:19,446
That has helped them

162
00:35:19,481 --> 00:35:22,680
and it's like you call it
a village and it is.

163
00:35:22,715 --> 00:35:24,649
Yeah. This is the place
where everything kind of

164
00:35:24,684 --> 00:35:27,421
becomes a bit more relaxing

165
00:35:27,456 --> 00:35:29,753
and a bit more Zen like you are.

166
00:35:29,788 --> 00:35:30,622
Well, thank you.

167
00:35:30,657 --> 00:35:32,591
Yeah. You have this...

168
00:35:32,626 --> 00:35:34,593
So I'm just really peculiar that

169
00:35:34,628 --> 00:35:36,760
you're really
driven into this energy

170
00:35:36,795 --> 00:35:38,995
and how do you describe
your energy with the flamingos?

171
00:35:40,931 --> 00:35:42,667
I really never thought about it.

172
00:35:42,702 --> 00:35:44,570
It just comes natural

173
00:35:44,605 --> 00:35:48,035
and, um,
I just enjoy them so much.

174
00:36:13,964 --> 00:36:18,065
So, Patricia, I've heard that
you have, uh,

175
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:19,440
a major in Art History.

176
00:36:19,475 --> 00:36:23,037
So, I wonder what do you
think about the flamingo?

177
00:36:23,072 --> 00:36:26,106
Do you think it's been like,

178
00:36:26,141 --> 00:36:28,141
the influence for artists?

179
00:36:28,176 --> 00:36:31,254
Well, actually I was
a professor of Art History

180
00:36:31,289 --> 00:36:32,849
at a university.

181
00:36:32,884 --> 00:36:35,489
And would I say
that the flamingo

182
00:36:35,524 --> 00:36:41,495
is a great universal emblem
of high art...

183
00:36:41,530 --> 00:36:44,828
I would say, no.

184
00:36:44,863 --> 00:36:48,095
I think it's a symbol
of something much more fun.

185
00:36:54,906 --> 00:36:59,172
<i>I'm coming out of this
black-wearing phase.</i>

186
00:36:59,207 --> 00:37:03,385
<i>I was really comfortable
with wearing black everyday.</i>

187
00:37:03,420 --> 00:37:05,552
<i>And now I'm starting,
as you can see,</i>

188
00:37:05,587 --> 00:37:08,918
to evolve
into this colorful and...

189
00:37:08,953 --> 00:37:12,526
I'm starting to be aware
of the energy

190
00:37:12,561 --> 00:37:15,364
and the things
you can communicate with

191
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:16,827
your own wardrobe.

192
00:37:16,862 --> 00:37:19,335
So life has changed,
but you know what?

193
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:20,831
It's fun.

194
00:37:20,866 --> 00:37:24,637
Years ago, I saw the movie
<i>Pink Flamingos.</i>

195
00:37:24,672 --> 00:37:29,169
<i>And, um, I thought it was brave</i>

196
00:37:29,204 --> 00:37:31,776
<i>and I thoroughly enjoyed it.</i>

197
00:37:31,811 --> 00:37:35,109
And I guess
I just have that streak

198
00:37:35,144 --> 00:37:37,452
of wanting to be

199
00:37:37,487 --> 00:37:41,016
a little wild, over-the-top.

200
00:37:41,051 --> 00:37:44,459
Yeah, that's actually like a really
human thing to do also, right?

201
00:37:44,494 --> 00:37:47,990
To spurt energy
without no sense at all.

202
00:37:48,025 --> 00:37:50,300
Just kind of like,
live in the moment, right?

203
00:37:50,335 --> 00:37:51,862
I couldn't agree more.

204
00:37:51,897 --> 00:37:54,403
I'm starting to look forward
for this moment,

205
00:37:54,438 --> 00:37:56,031
the big moment, you know?

206
00:37:56,066 --> 00:37:56,865
As you were saying,

207
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:58,968
it makes me
a bit nervous though.

208
00:37:59,003 --> 00:38:02,972
Well, you're involved
in a project now.

209
00:38:03,007 --> 00:38:07,042
Delving into the mysteries
of the Pink Flamingo.

210
00:38:07,077 --> 00:38:10,518
<i>Probably you never thought you were
going to be doing this.</i>

211
00:38:10,553 --> 00:38:13,884
<i>So, I think the secret to life</i>

212
00:38:13,919 --> 00:38:17,459
is to adopt change

213
00:38:17,494 --> 00:38:21,661
and welcome it, and go with it.

214
00:38:36,843 --> 00:38:43,111
<i>♪ Who put the smile
on your face ♪</i>

215
00:38:43,817 --> 00:38:45,520
Would you say that, um,

216
00:38:45,555 --> 00:38:49,216
have you made or pursued
your own dreams here?

217
00:38:49,251 --> 00:38:51,691
Yeah, I ended up here
by accident.

218
00:38:51,726 --> 00:38:54,122
<i>I was living between
the Bahamas and New York</i>

219
00:38:54,157 --> 00:38:56,630
<i>and my flight was cancelled.</i>

220
00:38:56,665 --> 00:38:59,369
<i>So I just took a cab.</i>

221
00:38:59,404 --> 00:39:01,635
<i>Then I stopped off
at the first hotel</i>

222
00:39:01,670 --> 00:39:04,374
<i>and it was this
very strange hotel.</i>

223
00:39:04,409 --> 00:39:08,037
<i>Because the rooms they gave me</i>

224
00:39:08,072 --> 00:39:10,072
was dedicated to AIDS.

225
00:39:10,107 --> 00:39:11,744
<i>And on the wall over the beds,</i>

226
00:39:11,779 --> 00:39:14,582
<i>there was a number of people
that had died at that point.</i>

227
00:39:14,617 --> 00:39:15,814
<i>And then I said,</i>

228
00:39:15,849 --> 00:39:18,421
<i>I gotta figure out
what's going on in this place.</i>

229
00:39:18,456 --> 00:39:20,720
And so, I just started walking.

230
00:39:29,027 --> 00:39:31,665
<i>I got seduced
by the architecture.</i>

231
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:32,897
It was all crumbling.

232
00:39:32,932 --> 00:39:35,405
A mixture
like I'd never seen before.

233
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,671
<i>Sort of, like a modern Pompeii.</i>

234
00:39:39,939 --> 00:39:43,644
And I saw the potential
and I saw the beauty

235
00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:45,943
and never left.

236
00:39:45,978 --> 00:39:48,077
These flamingos,
where did you find them?

237
00:39:48,112 --> 00:39:50,783
- I mean, what's the story?
- This one I found in church.

238
00:39:50,818 --> 00:39:52,917
- 'Cause he's the good flamingo.
- Okay.

239
00:39:52,952 --> 00:39:54,218
Or she, I guess.

240
00:39:54,254 --> 00:39:57,592
- 'Cause she has her Bible. Which...
- Bible person.

241
00:39:57,627 --> 00:39:59,825
It serves as two functions.

242
00:39:59,860 --> 00:40:01,431
So this one's me basically,

243
00:40:01,466 --> 00:40:02,531
'cause I'm a good boy.

244
00:40:02,566 --> 00:40:04,500
And here's the bad flamingo.

245
00:40:04,535 --> 00:40:06,535
He is a cocaine cowboy flamingo.

246
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:09,032
He's from the '70s,<i> Miami Vice.</i>

247
00:40:09,067 --> 00:40:11,969
You definitely need the hat
and the glasses.

248
00:40:12,004 --> 00:40:13,170
Oh, this is cool.

249
00:40:13,205 --> 00:40:14,686
'Cause since you're gonna be converted.
There you go.

250
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:16,776
Okay! Can I use this?

251
00:40:17,372 --> 00:40:19,009
Ask... Ask the flamingo?

252
00:40:19,044 --> 00:40:21,374
- Wow! -That's what you need
to finish the outfit.

253
00:40:21,409 --> 00:40:22,518
Wow! This is amazing.

254
00:40:22,553 --> 00:40:24,179
Now, you're totally Miami.

255
00:40:24,214 --> 00:40:25,521
This is me.
This is me, man.

256
00:40:25,556 --> 00:40:27,182
- They're ready for you.
- Wow!

257
00:40:27,217 --> 00:40:29,459
Florida's a land of dreams.

258
00:40:29,494 --> 00:40:32,990
And I think that, um,
it's a place where

259
00:40:33,025 --> 00:40:35,322
people come
to remake themselves.

260
00:40:35,357 --> 00:40:37,258
People come to find themselves.

261
00:40:37,293 --> 00:40:39,469
And I think there's like
a kind of continental tilt

262
00:40:39,504 --> 00:40:41,427
where everyone,
loose marbles in their head,

263
00:40:41,462 --> 00:40:43,605
kind of, rolls down here.

264
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,333
Other people say, it's like
the penis of the country.

265
00:40:46,368 --> 00:40:49,435
Everyone that's you know, caught
and looking for something.

266
00:40:49,470 --> 00:40:52,581
Just like, flows down.
Gets ejaculated,

267
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:54,748
and we're the tip here at Miami.

268
00:40:54,783 --> 00:40:56,211
You think there's a relationship

269
00:40:56,246 --> 00:40:59,016
between the flamingo energy
and the South Beach energy?

270
00:40:59,051 --> 00:41:02,250
I think our early South Beach
probably used it.

271
00:41:02,285 --> 00:41:04,560
Like the<i> Miami Vice</i> South Beach
would use it,

272
00:41:04,595 --> 00:41:06,496
because that was the transition.

273
00:41:06,531 --> 00:41:09,499
Certainly, Christo
used the Pink Flamingo color.

274
00:41:09,534 --> 00:41:12,227
<i>He actually used
the language of the Flamingo</i>

275
00:41:12,262 --> 00:41:14,570
<i>by taking the color
and wrapping the islands.</i>

276
00:41:14,605 --> 00:41:15,802
<i>Though, in a way,</i>

277
00:41:15,837 --> 00:41:18,233
<i>the Pink Flamingo
probably made South Beach.</i>

278
00:41:18,268 --> 00:41:19,872
<i>Via Christo.</i>

279
00:41:22,074 --> 00:41:24,239
<i>I think kitsch makes
people happy.</i>

280
00:41:24,274 --> 00:41:27,308
I think...
Kitsch is a vacation.

281
00:41:27,343 --> 00:41:29,442
It's a vacation in an object,

282
00:41:29,477 --> 00:41:34,381
and... that's why it continues
on and on and on.

283
00:41:34,416 --> 00:41:37,659
Because it can change
the way you feel.

284
00:41:37,694 --> 00:41:43,929
A good object is better
than a psychiatrist.

285
00:41:43,964 --> 00:41:49,462
And a Pink Flamingo can make you smile,
you know? And that's all.

286
00:41:49,497 --> 00:41:50,903
That's what we live for.

287
00:42:03,445 --> 00:42:07,854
<i>I basically feel like I live in a three
dimensional art work</i>

288
00:42:07,889 --> 00:42:10,087
<i>that's constantly changing
and evolving</i>

289
00:42:10,122 --> 00:42:13,563
<i>and sort of a fantasy dream
that I can manipulate.</i>

290
00:42:13,598 --> 00:42:18,161
And you would say the same
in your books?

291
00:42:18,196 --> 00:42:23,804
My books are certainly, um, eccentric,
and my characters are totally eccentric.

292
00:42:23,839 --> 00:42:27,841
So, that's what I try to do, you know,
with objects, I guess.

293
00:42:27,876 --> 00:42:34,650
You were always like this? Kind of like,
really being comfortable in your own zone?

294
00:42:34,685 --> 00:42:36,652
I'm a member of the Florida bar.

295
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:38,346
- Yeah.
- That means I'm a lawyer.

296
00:42:38,381 --> 00:42:39,589
- A lawyer.
- So...

297
00:42:39,624 --> 00:42:43,318
So, yes. I also worked at the
EC in Brussels,

298
00:42:43,353 --> 00:42:46,959
and I have about 100 degrees
from different universities.

299
00:42:46,994 --> 00:42:49,060
From Georgetown from...
So, yeah...

300
00:42:49,095 --> 00:42:51,700
I totally changed what
I wanted to do.

301
00:42:51,735 --> 00:42:55,495
Um... How do you feel
being a bit like outlawed?

302
00:42:55,530 --> 00:42:56,870
- Good.
- Yeah?

303
00:42:56,905 --> 00:43:00,676
Yeah. I don't wanna be a part
of the mainstream at all.

304
00:43:00,711 --> 00:43:03,910
Sometimes I feel like,
in between this worlds,

305
00:43:03,945 --> 00:43:05,714
I still don't create anything

306
00:43:05,749 --> 00:43:09,817
but it's been a journey to
kind of, like, discover things.

307
00:43:09,852 --> 00:43:11,951
Just don't worry. Don't worry.

308
00:43:11,986 --> 00:43:13,722
Don't let people tell you
what to do.

309
00:43:13,757 --> 00:43:15,724
Just do what you want to do.

310
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:17,660
You know? Find your passion.

311
00:43:17,695 --> 00:43:20,025
It's just, you know, people
just wanna put you in a box,

312
00:43:20,060 --> 00:43:23,259
you know, just open the box
and jump out.

313
00:43:23,294 --> 00:43:28,330
It took me a long time to learn that. I'm
only now learning it. Just don't worry.

314
00:43:28,365 --> 00:43:31,905
And don't think you have to do one thing.
That was my basic problem.

315
00:43:31,940 --> 00:43:33,973
Everyone thinks you
have to do one thing.

316
00:43:34,008 --> 00:43:37,713
You could do a million things. You
could do a different thing every day.

317
00:43:40,377 --> 00:43:42,014
Um, I'm getting emotional here.

318
00:43:46,317 --> 00:43:48,922
Wait, wait, wait. Eek!

319
00:43:53,456 --> 00:43:58,932
Yeah, so I was wondering now that I'm here
with all your stuff...

320
00:44:00,936 --> 00:44:04,707
could you say, maybe in words what is that,
that makes you happy?

321
00:44:05,468 --> 00:44:08,777
Um... freedom.

322
00:44:08,812 --> 00:44:14,112
Having the most interesting day I could
possibly have, taking care of my parents

323
00:44:14,147 --> 00:44:15,179
who are elderly.

324
00:44:15,214 --> 00:44:18,281
Um... Just...
just the freedom to do that.

325
00:44:18,316 --> 00:44:21,614
I've got to a point in my life
where I realized that

326
00:44:21,649 --> 00:44:23,792
I can do what...

327
00:44:23,827 --> 00:44:26,729
I want to do as opposed to
what people want me to do.

328
00:47:10,620 --> 00:47:12,455
What you did...

329
00:47:12,490 --> 00:47:15,425
with the flamingos you kicked,
I mean...

330
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:18,934
No offense, but what...
what was the idea behind that?

331
00:47:18,969 --> 00:47:20,727
I don't get what's the big deal.

332
00:47:21,362 --> 00:47:23,037
- I mean...
- They're just...

333
00:47:23,072 --> 00:47:24,973
It's plastic.
I just kicked plastic.

334
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:26,975
Yeah, but it was
like a display of...

335
00:47:27,604 --> 00:47:29,010
violence. I mean...

336
00:47:29,045 --> 00:47:31,111
Now, I'm a cool guy
in general, but...

337
00:47:31,146 --> 00:47:33,212
I don't know. Something about
the flamingo just...

338
00:47:33,247 --> 00:47:35,280
like I said,
it just drives me nuts, and...

339
00:47:35,315 --> 00:47:37,953
I was actually... last summer...
uh, in Italy,

340
00:47:37,988 --> 00:47:39,680
and all of a sudden
I see a bunch of...

341
00:47:39,715 --> 00:47:41,154
floaties of flamingos,

342
00:47:41,189 --> 00:47:42,958
and I'm like,
"Well, what's going on?"

343
00:47:42,993 --> 00:47:45,193
and then I actually go to Vegas
and at a pool party...

344
00:47:45,226 --> 00:47:47,424
bunch of flamingo floaties
and everyone's wearing

345
00:47:47,459 --> 00:47:49,129
flamingo shorts
and flamingo shirts.

346
00:47:49,164 --> 00:47:50,197
And then here in L.A.,

347
00:47:50,232 --> 00:47:52,264
like people started wearing
more flamingo stuff.

348
00:47:52,299 --> 00:47:54,530
And then I see
Justin Bieber on Instagram...

349
00:47:54,565 --> 00:47:56,565
posting with flamingos.
It's just, and...

350
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,435
It's all of a sudden like,

351
00:47:58,470 --> 00:47:59,843
I don't know, It's just...
It's a fad.

352
00:47:59,867 --> 00:48:01,119
It's just people are
trying to be cool,

353
00:48:01,143 --> 00:48:03,605
and then, you know,
it's all fake, and...

354
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,113
So maybe what you're saying
is that...

355
00:48:06,148 --> 00:48:09,380
you're against
people expressing...

356
00:48:09,415 --> 00:48:14,286
fake emotions with...
through fake animal. I mean...

357
00:48:14,321 --> 00:48:16,585
The reason why I started,
like a Facebook page is

358
00:48:16,620 --> 00:48:18,884
because there's a lot of people
just like me.

359
00:48:18,919 --> 00:48:22,162
They need a platform to actually
express themselves...

360
00:48:22,197 --> 00:48:24,967
how annoyed they are
with this fucking phenomenon.

361
00:48:26,333 --> 00:48:27,333
Flamingo!

362
00:48:28,170 --> 00:48:32,634
Yeah...

363
00:48:32,669 --> 00:48:36,946
Ah!

364
00:48:36,981 --> 00:48:39,443
And that's why I actually
came up with this shirt myself.

365
00:48:39,478 --> 00:48:41,874
And so...
you can go on my Facebook page.

366
00:48:41,909 --> 00:48:44,679
If you wanna buy one,
you know, 19.99.

367
00:48:44,714 --> 00:48:47,781
Don't you get the vibe?
The flamingo vibe? Maybe...

368
00:48:47,816 --> 00:48:50,223
Who cares? I mean,
you're not listening to me.

369
00:48:50,258 --> 00:48:53,226
I'm telling you that people
that support flamingos are fake.

370
00:48:53,261 --> 00:48:56,724
So I don't care how elegant,
how beautiful the animal is.

371
00:48:56,759 --> 00:48:59,067
It represents people
who are fake.

372
00:48:59,102 --> 00:49:00,695
I just can't take it anymore,
so...

380
00:49:26,261 --> 00:49:28,393

382
00:49:32,630 --> 00:49:34,465
I've only worn pink since 1980.

383
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:36,896
So you've been wearing it
since 1980?

384
00:49:36,931 --> 00:49:39,338
Yes, exclusively.
No other color.

385
00:49:39,373 --> 00:49:40,603
I'm obsessed with pink.

386
00:49:40,638 --> 00:49:42,352
It's my favorite color
in the whole world.

387
00:49:42,376 --> 00:49:44,838
And I wouldn't be caught dead
in any other color.

388
00:49:44,873 --> 00:49:46,015
I'll die in pink.

389
00:49:46,050 --> 00:49:47,676
There's just something
about pink.

390
00:49:47,711 --> 00:49:51,020
It just brings joy, light, love,

391
00:49:51,055 --> 00:49:53,088
and I get emotional
talking about it...

392
00:49:53,783 --> 00:49:55,288
because it is...

393
00:49:55,323 --> 00:49:57,818
just the most beautiful color.

394
00:49:57,853 --> 00:50:00,425
And it means so much
to so many people.

395
00:50:00,460 --> 00:50:02,757
It's passion, it's love, it's...

396
00:50:02,792 --> 00:50:04,429
It's everything.
It's everything.

397
00:50:04,464 --> 00:50:05,529
Okay.

398
00:50:05,564 --> 00:50:09,830
Um, I'm in this
kind of trip following...

399
00:50:09,865 --> 00:50:13,834
uh, people that have
a relationship with the flamingo

400
00:50:13,869 --> 00:50:15,308
- and um...

401
00:50:15,543 --> 00:50:16,771
Ow!

402
00:50:16,806 --> 00:50:20,049
The pink flamingo is
my favorite... animal of all.

403
00:50:20,084 --> 00:50:23,448
They are very glamorous
and very exquisite.

404
00:50:23,483 --> 00:50:25,846
- It's flam-azing.

405
00:50:25,881 --> 00:50:28,651
- And their leg...
- like here they are...

406
00:50:28,686 --> 00:50:30,092
Their leg goes up...

407
00:50:30,127 --> 00:50:32,787
and it's just like,
"Hello. I'm sexy."

408
00:50:32,822 --> 00:50:35,724
You know? I'm fun.
I'm fabulous. I'm a flamingo.

409
00:50:35,759 --> 00:50:38,166
They're fashion models
of the birds.

410
00:50:38,201 --> 00:50:41,796
But I am a flamingo.
Hello, Flamingo!

411
00:50:43,404 --> 00:50:45,107
Oh, I even have
pink flamingo shoes.

412
00:50:45,142 --> 00:50:46,867
- I have to show you.
- Oh, yeah, please.

413
00:50:46,902 --> 00:50:47,902
Yes.

414
00:50:48,145 --> 00:50:49,243
Wow!

415
00:50:49,278 --> 00:50:50,409
Isn't that cute?

416
00:50:53,447 --> 00:50:54,512
Wow!

417
00:50:54,547 --> 00:50:56,778
You like-y?

418
00:50:56,813 --> 00:50:59,121
- Of all your places...

419
00:50:59,156 --> 00:51:01,783
- It has an impact on me, like...
- Oh, good!

420
00:51:01,818 --> 00:51:04,324
Well, the color is like,
just... massive.

421
00:51:06,328 --> 00:51:07,921
- What do you think people...

422
00:51:07,956 --> 00:51:10,561
think about you
when they see you?

423
00:51:10,596 --> 00:51:13,729
Hopefully they think, you know,
I'm just doing my own thing

424
00:51:13,764 --> 00:51:15,137
and just being myself.

425
00:51:15,172 --> 00:51:17,469
But in the end, it doesn't
really matter what they think.

426
00:51:17,504 --> 00:51:18,646
It only matters what I think.

427
00:51:18,670 --> 00:51:20,010
- Okay.
- 'Cause if you worry about

428
00:51:20,034 --> 00:51:21,781
what everybody else thinks,
you won't do your own thing.

429
00:51:21,805 --> 00:51:24,179
You know what I mean?
So here's the thing.

430
00:51:24,214 --> 00:51:27,677
I have a passion,
and why not use it?

431
00:51:27,712 --> 00:51:28,752
People are like, you know,

432
00:51:28,779 --> 00:51:29,987
"Are you just doing it
for the money?"

433
00:51:30,011 --> 00:51:32,748
No. I'm doing it first of all,
because I love it.

434
00:51:32,783 --> 00:51:34,123
Second of all...

435
00:51:34,158 --> 00:51:36,455
if people wanna interview me
and pay me, why not?

436
00:51:36,490 --> 00:51:37,621
So you're saying that

437
00:51:37,656 --> 00:51:39,788
you can make a living
out of doing interviews?

438
00:51:39,823 --> 00:51:42,560
I'm making a living off
of my brand

439
00:51:42,595 --> 00:51:46,366
and my music, and my book,
and my acting.

if someone wants to
pay you, "Yes."

457
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,707
Um, I'm wondering, too.
Like I met...

458
00:52:30,742 --> 00:52:34,711
There's this club that's called,
"I hate flamingos."

459
00:52:34,746 --> 00:52:36,581
Oh, my gosh! Are they serious?

460
00:52:36,616 --> 00:52:38,154
- Do they really hate 'em?
- Um... Yeah.

461
00:52:38,178 --> 00:52:42,818
They say that it might be
a bit fake that people get happy

462
00:52:42,853 --> 00:52:45,755
for some animal
that they haven't even met.

463
00:52:45,790 --> 00:52:47,020
That's ridiculous.

464
00:52:47,055 --> 00:52:49,231
I gotta find out
if there's a club like that.

465
00:52:49,266 --> 00:52:50,364
That'd be terrible.

466
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:53,368
You like those?

467
00:52:53,403 --> 00:52:55,765
- These are really nice.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?

468
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,536
This is really funky.
I mean, like,

469
00:52:57,571 --> 00:52:59,340
I would go everywhere
with all of this.

470
00:52:59,375 --> 00:53:01,309
- Right?
- Yes.

471
00:53:01,344 --> 00:53:02,310
God! I mean, of course.

472
00:53:02,345 --> 00:53:03,817
That hat is like,
one of my favorites.

473
00:53:03,841 --> 00:53:06,006
- This is really funky.
- Yeah.

474
00:53:06,041 --> 00:53:07,678
Yeah...
- I'm real picky about my stuff.

475
00:53:07,713 --> 00:53:09,691
I'm real pinky about my stuff.
I don't like people...

476
00:53:09,715 --> 00:53:11,726
No, I mean, you could try it on,
but I don't want anybody,

477
00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:13,057
- wearing my stuff.
- Okay, I know that it's...

478
00:53:13,081 --> 00:53:14,861
Yeah, yeah. I know,
it's my aesthetic in my brand

479
00:53:14,885 --> 00:53:17,061
and people come in and they...
start grabbing my stuff.

480
00:53:17,085 --> 00:53:19,624
I'm like, "No, no, no.
Honey, it's not for you."

481
00:53:19,659 --> 00:53:21,923
Anything that I have,
I used to let...

482
00:53:21,958 --> 00:53:23,936
One girl borrowed one of my dresses
and she stained it.

483
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,268
It was my favorite and I said,
in my heart,

484
00:53:26,303 --> 00:53:29,194
I pinky promised myself

485
00:53:29,229 --> 00:53:32,065
that I would never let anybody
use my stuff again.

486
00:53:32,100 --> 00:53:32,868

We don't click,

498

because the people
that love pink understand

499
00:53:58,962 --> 00:54:01,798
and the people that don't get it
are not enlightened.

500
00:54:01,833 --> 00:54:04,471
It's something... I don't know
how to explain it, but...

501
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:06,132
it's true.

502
00:54:06,167 --> 00:54:07,100
What you're wearing is

503
00:54:07,135 --> 00:54:09,707
pretty much representing of
who you are.

504
00:54:09,742 --> 00:54:11,555
And it doesn't matter
what they say about me.

505
00:54:11,579 --> 00:54:13,447
It's only what I care
about myself

506
00:54:13,482 --> 00:54:16,318
and what I think about myself,
and I think I'm fabulous.

507
00:54:16,353 --> 00:54:17,519
Yeah.

508
00:54:17,554 --> 00:54:20,421
But if you don't, nobody's gonna believe
that you are.

509
00:54:20,456 --> 00:54:21,851
- Yeah.
- If you don't believe it,

510
00:54:21,886 --> 00:54:23,589
who else is gonna believe it?
Nobody.

511
00:54:23,624 --> 00:54:25,250
'Cause you're like,
"I'm nothing."

512
00:54:25,285 --> 00:54:27,802
Well, guess what? Everybody else
is gonna think you're nothing,

513
00:54:27,826 --> 00:54:29,595
if you think you're nothing.

514
00:54:29,630 --> 00:54:31,223
So you have to
believe in yourself.

515
00:54:31,258 --> 00:54:33,258
And I think that's

556
00:58:29,466 --> 00:58:32,739
I found out about this track
of yours called<i> Flamingo.</i>

557
00:58:32,774 --> 00:58:34,136
- Yeah.
- And I was wondering,

558
00:58:34,171 --> 00:58:37,502
how did you guys got inspired...
to make it?

559
00:58:37,537 --> 00:58:39,977
Uh... we were just asked
to do a song

560
00:58:40,012 --> 00:58:42,177
uh, with the theme of 'Pink'.

561
00:58:42,212 --> 00:58:44,553
And Flamingo...
popped into our minds.

562
00:58:44,588 --> 00:58:47,314
I just kind of looked up like,
"Oh, why are they pink?"

563
00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:50,284
And it's just
because of what they eat.

564
00:58:50,319 --> 00:58:51,417
But I found out that...

565
00:58:51,452 --> 00:58:55,960
zoo keepers feed flamingos...
um, pink food.

566
00:58:55,995 --> 00:59:01,427
Because we... like the visitors
expect flamingos to be pink.

573
00:59:17,654 --> 00:59:19,115

<i>♪ Flamingo ♪</i>

575
00:59:23,627 --> 00:59:24,758
But the question is,

576
00:59:24,793 --> 00:59:26,553
how many of those plays
are from flamingos?

577
00:59:27,895 --> 00:59:29,455
They're trippy birds, you know.

578
00:59:30,491 --> 00:59:32,326
They're quite symbolic birds.

579
00:59:32,361 --> 00:59:33,668
How they look...

580
00:59:33,703 --> 00:59:34,834
how they eat...

581
00:59:36,167 --> 00:59:38,464
how they... love.

582
00:59:38,499 --> 00:59:39,773
They look a bit alien.

583
00:59:41,271 --> 00:59:42,776
They look like birds,

584
00:59:42,811 --> 00:59:46,681
but then they...
don't look like birds.

585
00:59:46,716 --> 00:59:48,254
This. I don't know.
I don't have a word.

586
00:59:48,278 --> 00:59:49,915
Yeah, like a ritual,
right? Like a...

587
00:59:49,950 --> 00:59:51,851
Yeah, and this kind of like,

588
00:59:51,886 --> 00:59:54,579
I think it's back to that
kind of alien thing.

589
00:59:54,614 --> 00:59:56,214
<i>They're standing
on one leg and that.</i>

590
00:59:58,926 --> 01:00:00,321
They have this flow.

591
01:00:00,356 --> 01:00:03,159
Right? And that's
very musical, actually.

592
01:00:03,194 --> 01:00:04,468
What's happened?
What's happened there?

593
01:00:04,492 --> 01:00:08,703
Well, they say that
birds come from reptiles, right?

594
01:00:08,738 --> 01:00:10,804
<i>Maybe they could be
close to dinosaur.</i>

595
01:00:10,839 --> 01:00:12,399
Maybe they kind of...

596
01:00:12,434 --> 01:00:14,071
Yeah. Diplodocus, long neck.

597
01:00:14,106 --> 01:00:15,743
It's kind of the same
as a flamingo.

598
01:00:15,778 --> 01:00:16,876
Yeah.

599
01:00:16,911 --> 01:00:18,878
<i>I mean, if you cross
an Archaeopteryx</i>

600
01:00:18,913 --> 01:00:22,783
and a Diplodocus,
you get a flamingo, pretty much.

601
01:00:22,818 --> 01:00:24,477
That massive pink...

602
01:00:25,689 --> 01:00:27,755
It might be in, like a...

603
01:00:27,790 --> 01:00:30,186
an icon of, like,
the unknown or something.

604
01:00:31,288 --> 01:00:32,892
He's also
a bit aggressive, I would say.

605
01:00:32,927 --> 01:00:35,422
- Right?
- Yeah, that eye...

606
01:00:35,457 --> 01:00:37,127
- Looking into you and...
- Yeah.

607
01:00:39,626 --> 01:00:40,999
I love to...

608
01:00:41,034 --> 01:00:42,528
hang out with them...

609
01:00:42,563 --> 01:00:43,738
and fly with them.

610
01:00:47,238 --> 01:00:49,139
<i>Some words, especially numbers</i>

611
01:00:49,174 --> 01:00:51,713
and days of the week
have colors to me.

612
01:00:51,748 --> 01:00:54,441
Um, I think it's called
like syn... thesia.

613
01:00:54,476 --> 01:00:55,575
Synesthesia.

614
01:00:55,611 --> 01:00:58,577
Yes. When I write a song,
I can kind of see the color.

615
01:00:58,612 --> 01:01:01,888
There's many ways of using it,
negative and positive.

616
01:01:01,923 --> 01:01:05,254
It's like translates as chaotic
or like...

617
01:01:05,289 --> 01:01:08,796
manic but like...
or some colors are like calming.

618
01:01:11,691 --> 01:01:13,295
I guess I related to flamingo

619
01:01:13,330 --> 01:01:16,199
with how the zookeepers are
trying to keep them pink.

620
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,631
<i>My mom's Japanese,
my dad's English.</i>

621
01:01:19,666 --> 01:01:22,601
<i>I grew up in like,
England and Japan.</i>

622
01:01:22,636 --> 01:01:24,603
- Hm.
<i>- So for me, like...</i>

623
01:01:24,638 --> 01:01:27,342
I can relate to
this flamingo story

624
01:01:27,377 --> 01:01:28,849
because I'm kinda...

625
01:01:29,251 --> 01:01:30,015
in between.

626
01:01:30,050 --> 01:01:32,380
I always struggled with like...

627
01:01:32,415 --> 01:01:34,349
"Oh...", like who I am.

628
01:01:36,584 --> 01:01:37,990
<i>Maybe they wanna fly out.</i>

629
01:01:38,025 --> 01:01:42,863
The bird is a symbol of escape,
tragic escape, tragedy.

630
01:01:42,898 --> 01:01:44,139
Maybe that's what a flamingo is.

631
01:01:44,163 --> 01:01:46,130
Hey, you can be
whatever you want.

632
01:01:46,165 --> 01:01:48,099
You don't have to just be pink.

633
01:01:48,134 --> 01:01:51,102
And being different is cool too.

What's on my brain every day?

652
01:04:05,975 --> 01:04:07,700
I have to get up every morning

653

and think up fucked up things.
That's my job.

654
01:04:09,836 --> 01:04:12,507

<i>at children's birthday parties.</i>

665
01:04:49,315 --> 01:04:50,677
And the parents
stopped hiring me

666
01:04:50,712 --> 01:04:53,922
because I had the puppets,
I put fake blood in it and stuff

667
01:04:53,957 --> 01:04:55,352
and the children
would freak out.

668
01:04:55,387 --> 01:04:58,058
I never really went to school.
I got thrown out of every school

669
01:04:58,093 --> 01:05:00,819
because they wouldn't let me be
what I wanted to be.

670
01:05:00,854 --> 01:05:04,031
You go to school to find out
what you wanna be.

671
01:05:04,066 --> 01:05:07,661
I knew what I wanted to be...
the filthiest person alive.

672
01:05:07,696 --> 01:05:09,828
Yes. Let's do it again.
Don't look at me, though.

673
01:05:10,567 --> 01:05:11,567
Ready?

674
01:05:15,308 --> 01:05:16,769
All right, Good. Okay.

675
01:05:16,804 --> 01:05:19,805
Okay. One shot that
we can't have anybody seeing.

676
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,213
- All right?
- Why?

677
01:05:21,248 --> 01:05:23,050
Well, I don't wanna
explain it to you,

678
01:05:23,085 --> 01:05:24,315
but it's just, you know...

679
01:05:24,350 --> 01:05:25,789
So if everybody could just
walk over there

680
01:05:25,813 --> 01:05:26,922
for just this one shot. Alright?

681
01:05:26,946 --> 01:05:27,956
Alright.

682
01:05:27,991 --> 01:05:30,684
And I was raised to have
very good taste.

683
01:05:30,719 --> 01:05:33,225
My parents were
sticklers on that.

684
01:05:33,260 --> 01:05:36,525
So that's why I started
a career of bad taste

685
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,132
because without knowing
the rules of good taste,

686
01:05:39,167 --> 01:05:40,331
you can't make fun of them.

687
01:05:40,366 --> 01:05:42,795
Did you ever have this dilemma,
in a way?

688
01:05:42,830 --> 01:05:44,797
It was always a dilemma.
Are you kidding?

689
01:05:44,832 --> 01:05:47,074
Growing up,
everything I was interested in,

690
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:49,901
nobody else was.
My parents were horrified,

691
01:05:49,936 --> 01:05:51,276
the teachers were horrified,

692
01:05:51,311 --> 01:05:53,047
the other students
were horrified,

693
01:05:53,082 --> 01:05:55,313
but I had to look
and find people

694
01:05:55,348 --> 01:05:56,581
that I can get along with

695
01:05:56,616 --> 01:05:59,911
that might believe... That were
against everything else too.

696
01:05:59,946 --> 01:06:02,188
That we're trying to
find Bohemia, in a way.

697
01:06:02,223 --> 01:06:04,388
Yeah.
- Big influence on me was drugs.

698
01:06:04,423 --> 01:06:07,688
You know, I loved LSD and pot,

699
01:06:07,723 --> 01:06:10,592
and so I didn't make
the movies on drugs,

700
01:06:10,627 --> 01:06:12,726
but I thought them up on drugs.

701
01:06:12,761 --> 01:06:15,267
Fire, fire!
To the ground!

702
01:06:19,933 --> 01:06:22,340
Give it time. It will.

703
01:06:22,375 --> 01:06:25,607
<i>I called the film</i> Pink Flamingos
<i>because I knew</i>

704
01:06:25,642 --> 01:06:28,247
there was so much
shock value in the movie

705
01:06:28,282 --> 01:06:31,283
- that I thought the title should downplay it a little.
- Yeah.

706
01:06:31,318 --> 01:06:33,879
I wanted to celebrate bad taste,

707
01:06:33,914 --> 01:06:36,849
which my whole movie was doing
at the same time.

708
01:06:36,884 --> 01:06:40,457
So the pink flamingo
at that time in history

709
01:06:40,492 --> 01:06:44,395
purposely represented the world

710
01:06:44,430 --> 01:06:47,200
that intellectuals
did not wanna have.

711
01:06:57,971 --> 01:07:00,004
They might feel
uncomfortable with,

712
01:07:00,039 --> 01:07:01,841
but if they're with me,
they feel safe

713
01:07:01,876 --> 01:07:03,546
and they can investigate.

714
01:07:03,581 --> 01:07:06,615
And they don't have to agree
with the world I like.

715
01:07:06,650 --> 01:07:09,420
But at least maybe to see things
in a different way,

716
01:07:09,455 --> 01:07:11,686
and you only get people
to change their opinions,

717
01:07:11,721 --> 01:07:13,391
if you can make them laugh.

718
01:07:13,426 --> 01:07:16,658
You know, Cookie, Mr. David doesn't
really like you.

719
01:07:16,693 --> 01:07:19,397
Oh, I don't like him
much either.

720
01:07:19,432 --> 01:07:20,926
I'm not preaching to 'em.

721
01:07:20,961 --> 01:07:23,731
I'm just showing 'em always
the other side.

722
01:07:23,766 --> 01:07:25,832
And I've always been
interested in behavior

723
01:07:25,867 --> 01:07:27,834
that I can't understand really.

724
01:07:27,869 --> 01:07:29,209
Did you ever have a moment

725
01:07:29,244 --> 01:07:30,936
where you saw yourself
in the mirror

726
01:07:30,971 --> 01:07:33,906
and couldn't, like,
recognize yourself?

727
01:07:33,941 --> 01:07:36,216
When I looked in the mirror
when I was young,

728
01:07:36,251 --> 01:07:38,350
as how my parents
wanted me to look,

729
01:07:38,385 --> 01:07:40,814
I didn't like it.
I didn't wanna be preppy.

730
01:07:40,849 --> 01:07:42,134
I didn't wanna...
They wanted me

731
01:07:42,158 --> 01:07:43,234
to look like everybody else.

732
01:07:43,258 --> 01:07:44,950
I thought,
what's the point, you know,

733
01:07:44,985 --> 01:07:47,018
I mean, the point
of a style is that

734
01:07:47,053 --> 01:07:48,371
you don't look like
everybody else.

735
01:07:48,395 --> 01:07:50,054
And then people wanna
look like you.

736
01:07:50,089 --> 01:07:52,331
You just have to invent
for yourself

737
01:07:52,366 --> 01:07:53,728
a signature look.

738
01:07:53,763 --> 01:07:55,730
If you wear it
with no confidence,

739
01:07:55,765 --> 01:07:56,830
you look like an idiot.

740
01:07:56,865 --> 01:07:58,997
But if you wear it
with confidence

741
01:07:59,032 --> 01:08:01,109
and everybody else hates it,

742
01:08:01,144 --> 01:08:03,870
eventually,
if you keep doing it,

743
01:08:03,905 --> 01:08:05,245
you'll start a style.

744
01:08:09,009 --> 01:08:12,186
Nobody said
I was good for 10 years.

745
01:08:12,221 --> 01:08:14,155
They all hated it.
I got all bad reviews.

746
01:08:14,190 --> 01:08:16,553
I built a career on bad reviews.

747
01:08:16,588 --> 01:08:20,590
If you have to say,
how can I get a movie made

748
01:08:20,625 --> 01:08:21,954
or how can...
It won't happen.

749
01:08:21,989 --> 01:08:23,439
You just have to believe
in yourself.

750
01:08:23,463 --> 01:08:25,056
It's not how, it's when.

751
01:08:26,334 --> 01:08:28,763
Okay, say it. Go ahead.
Crouch down.

752
01:08:28,798 --> 01:08:31,029
Well, what if he doesn't
shit right here?

753
01:08:31,064 --> 01:08:32,272
Well, where ever he does

754
01:08:32,307 --> 01:08:35,099
crouch down on that side of him
facing here.

755
01:08:35,134 --> 01:08:37,277
- Like if he's here...
- Yeah.

756
01:08:37,312 --> 01:08:39,741
Okay. Go ahead,
pick it up.

757
01:08:39,776 --> 01:08:44,075
Oh, God. I have to
get on my knee like that.

758
01:08:44,110 --> 01:08:46,044
Yeah, but all the way,
when he does it,

759
01:08:46,079 --> 01:08:48,519
then go all the way in.
All right?

760
01:08:48,554 --> 01:08:51,049
As soon as he starts chewing,
puts it in his mouth?

761
01:08:51,084 --> 01:08:53,590
- As soon as it gets to his mouth.
- All right.

762
01:08:54,824 --> 01:08:55,824
Did you eat it?

763
01:08:55,858 --> 01:08:57,825
Okay. Go ahead.
Now do it like, up.

764
01:08:57,860 --> 01:08:59,827
Remember?
Like, like that?

765
01:08:59,862 --> 01:09:00,862
Yeah.

766
01:09:00,896 --> 01:09:03,270
I'm a sound engineer,
and I normally

767
01:09:03,305 --> 01:09:06,273
do this recordings in the field,

768
01:09:06,308 --> 01:09:08,935
and I really love
to be away from everything,

769
01:09:08,970 --> 01:09:11,278
and then hear what I've recorded

770
01:09:11,313 --> 01:09:14,006
and maybe, kind of,
like edit it and just,

771
01:09:14,041 --> 01:09:15,843
but I don't know
what to do with it.

772
01:09:15,878 --> 01:09:17,449
I don't know
what's the purpose of it.

773
01:09:17,484 --> 01:09:18,681
Take those sounds

774
01:09:18,716 --> 01:09:20,386
and make
something new out of it.

775
01:09:20,421 --> 01:09:21,882
Get people to listen to it

776
01:09:21,917 --> 01:09:23,752
in a different way
than they would have

777
01:09:23,787 --> 01:09:26,458
if you hadn't edited
or you hadn't changed it

778
01:09:26,493 --> 01:09:29,692
or made them think of it
in a different way.

779
01:09:29,727 --> 01:09:33,025
Put some sex in, put some violence in,
that always helps.

780
01:09:35,766 --> 01:09:37,832
<i>Are you looking for a partner</i>

781
01:09:37,867 --> 01:09:39,207
<i>that you can't get near?</i>

782
01:09:39,242 --> 01:09:41,836
<i>Maybe that's it.
Do you wanna fly away?</i>

783
01:09:41,871 --> 01:09:45,037
<i>Flying is always sexual
in every dream.</i>

784
01:09:53,883 --> 01:09:55,256
Rigo!

785
01:10:46,133 --> 01:10:48,507
Well, welcome to L.A.

786
01:10:48,542 --> 01:10:51,103
This is my studio.

787
01:10:51,138 --> 01:10:54,513
Just a few.
They're Earth, Wind and Fire.

788
01:10:54,548 --> 01:10:56,746
Uh, September,
Boogie Wonderland,

789
01:10:56,781 --> 01:10:58,550
- Pet Shop Boys.
- Yeah, of course,

790
01:10:58,585 --> 01:11:00,816
Pointer Sisters.

791
01:11:00,851 --> 01:11:01,751
First of all, I should say

792
01:11:01,786 --> 01:11:03,423
I write both music and lyrics.

793
01:11:03,458 --> 01:11:05,117
I do not know how to play.

794
01:11:05,152 --> 01:11:08,120
You could say
to me, "G."

795
01:11:08,925 --> 01:11:11,255
Well, there's 88 keys.

796
01:11:11,290 --> 01:11:13,400
It could be one of them,
you know?

797
01:11:13,435 --> 01:11:14,731
I don't know.

798
01:11:14,766 --> 01:11:16,667
Ideally, I'm working
with a collaborator

799
01:11:16,702 --> 01:11:18,735
who really does know

800
01:11:18,770 --> 01:11:21,342
because between their precision

801
01:11:21,377 --> 01:11:24,510
and my just wanting it
to feel good

802
01:11:24,545 --> 01:11:27,139
somewhere in there there's gonna be
an interesting mix.

803
01:11:27,174 --> 01:11:29,812
It's been a journey
for me to actually,

804
01:11:29,847 --> 01:11:31,044
put all this sounds,

805
01:11:31,079 --> 01:11:33,552
I'm trying to make
a connection with it.

806
01:11:33,587 --> 01:11:34,751
- Yeah.
- Maybe a bit.

807
01:11:34,786 --> 01:11:36,280
So you wanna hear
what I'm doing?

808
01:11:36,315 --> 01:11:38,425
Okay, as long as
I can be very honest.

809
01:11:38,460 --> 01:11:42,660
- Okay. -Find sounds
that make you happy.

810
01:11:42,695 --> 01:11:44,431
- A coffee cup falls...

811
01:11:44,466 --> 01:11:46,367
- The helicopters are going...

812
01:11:46,402 --> 01:11:47,995
I'm hearing a beat.

813
01:11:48,998 --> 01:11:50,437
That's a great drum sound.

814
01:11:50,472 --> 01:11:53,671
Like I've actually thrown
microphones in the pool

815
01:11:53,706 --> 01:11:55,904
- just to get the initial...

816
01:11:55,939 --> 01:11:59,809
And to me, arranging sounds

817
01:11:59,844 --> 01:12:01,943
is exactly the same

818
01:12:01,978 --> 01:12:04,517
as arranging things
on the table.

819
01:12:04,552 --> 01:12:07,685
They're just objects in space

820
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,853
like September.

821
01:12:10,888 --> 01:12:13,988
This is not how
a normal musician thinks.

822
01:12:14,023 --> 01:12:16,254
They would say she's nuts,

823
01:12:16,289 --> 01:12:20,368
but, ha ha. I've sold
60 million records.

824
01:12:22,097 --> 01:12:25,868
Okay, this is a Black Power

825
01:12:25,903 --> 01:12:28,772
do it yourself coloring kit,

826
01:12:28,807 --> 01:12:32,743
which is insane anyway,
Black Power.

827
01:12:32,778 --> 01:12:34,855
- However... -MARTIN LUTHER KING:
<i>I have a dream...</i>

828
01:12:34,879 --> 01:12:37,044
- It starts off as a white man.

829
01:12:37,079 --> 01:12:39,211
This is what makes it kitsch,

830
01:12:39,246 --> 01:12:41,620
like one more minute of thinking

831
01:12:41,655 --> 01:12:44,524
they would have gone,
"Let's at least make him tan."

832
01:12:44,559 --> 01:12:45,723
Yeah, I know what you mean.

833
01:12:45,758 --> 01:12:47,428
So love this.

834
01:12:50,664 --> 01:12:53,698
Horrible looking, cheap,

835
01:12:53,733 --> 01:12:56,228
Michael Jackson holding blanket

836
01:12:56,263 --> 01:12:59,737
and you can push them
over the balcony.

837
01:12:59,772 --> 01:13:02,036
All these things I showed you,

838
01:13:02,071 --> 01:13:05,105
something is so wrong.

839
01:13:05,140 --> 01:13:08,944
But also the person
making all these items

840
01:13:08,979 --> 01:13:11,749
thought they were
doing something brilliant.

841
01:13:11,784 --> 01:13:15,280
And so, it's authentic.

842
01:13:15,315 --> 01:13:18,085
They worked on it really hard,

843
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,154
and it's completely wrong.

844
01:13:21,189 --> 01:13:23,695
These things make me smile.

845
01:13:23,730 --> 01:13:27,259
And that's a huge element
of kitsch.

846
01:13:27,294 --> 01:13:30,064
Not because they made mistakes,

847
01:13:30,099 --> 01:13:33,903
because they...
felt it in their heart,

848
01:13:33,938 --> 01:13:36,103
but they were wrong.

849
01:13:36,138 --> 01:13:38,941
And so I can look at that
and laugh.

850
01:13:38,976 --> 01:13:40,041
But I don't think...

851
01:13:40,076 --> 01:13:42,076
I'll tell you what doesn't
work in kitsch

852
01:13:42,111 --> 01:13:45,981
if you are purposely
trying to be bad,

853
01:13:46,016 --> 01:13:46,982
doesn't work.

854
01:13:47,017 --> 01:13:49,457
Kitsch has to be authentic.

855
01:13:57,456 --> 01:14:01,128
We do have fun here
at Willis Wonderland.

856
01:14:02,032 --> 01:14:04,032
It's an unbelievable
party house.

857
01:14:04,067 --> 01:14:08,102
People say that
that the house literally smiles

858
01:14:08,137 --> 01:14:11,479
like it's got this tilt up
when it's filled with people,

859
01:14:11,514 --> 01:14:14,911
and I get three,
four hundred people back here.

860
01:14:14,946 --> 01:14:16,407
This you're gonna like.

861
01:14:18,213 --> 01:14:23,414
My pink flamingos.
The real deal.

862
01:14:23,449 --> 01:14:29,222
Concrete, concrete.
No plastic, no plastic.

863
01:14:30,126 --> 01:14:31,323
- Sturdy.
- Really strong.

864
01:14:31,358 --> 01:14:32,424
They're strong.

865
01:14:32,459 --> 01:14:36,636
I love these. These are from
the '30s, Miami Beach.

866
01:14:36,671 --> 01:14:38,231
Real deal.

867
01:14:38,266 --> 01:14:40,332
What do you think
about the bird?

868
01:14:40,367 --> 01:14:42,840
- I mean...
- I think they're fascinating.

869
01:14:42,875 --> 01:14:47,141
It's such an imaginative shape.

870
01:14:47,176 --> 01:14:51,310
<i>It symbolizes to me
a kind of lifestyle,</i>

871
01:14:51,345 --> 01:14:55,017
a setting where time is lost.

872
01:14:55,052 --> 01:14:56,689
When you're proud of yourself,

873
01:14:56,724 --> 01:15:01,056
when you believe in yourself,
it's all about expression.

874
01:15:03,060 --> 01:15:05,357
<i>For me, throwing parties are...</i>

875
01:15:05,392 --> 01:15:09,163
<i>It's the best way that I can
combine my music,</i>

876
01:15:09,198 --> 01:15:13,332
<i>my art, my lifestyle,
my friends.</i>

877
01:15:13,367 --> 01:15:17,435
<i>Because just as you have,
people arrive here</i>

878
01:15:17,470 --> 01:15:21,109
dressed for the house,
so it's just swirls of,

879
01:15:21,144 --> 01:15:24,178
like, colors
and shapes and sounds.

880
01:15:24,213 --> 01:15:27,588
<i>♪ Ah! Whip it good ♪</i>

881
01:15:27,623 --> 01:15:31,625
People are throwing themselves
into the pool naked.

882
01:15:31,660 --> 01:15:34,320
- Okay.
- I don't have a beat.

883
01:15:34,355 --> 01:15:36,993
Go, I'm gonna do a,
maybe a beat here.

884
01:15:37,028 --> 01:15:40,029
Or you can do
your own stuff. Okay.

885
01:16:20,269 --> 01:16:25,272
It's good. It's good.
It's a great start,

886
01:16:25,307 --> 01:16:28,374
but I think you need
to develop it more.

887
01:16:28,409 --> 01:16:31,784
You have a good basis for it,
but just build on top of it.

888
01:16:31,819 --> 01:16:33,346
You have to just keep going.

889
01:16:33,381 --> 01:16:35,414
I would like to go back
to my normal life,

890
01:16:35,449 --> 01:16:37,416
but I... It's just,
kind of, like

891
01:16:37,451 --> 01:16:40,694
I don't find myself
like that anymore.

892
01:16:40,729 --> 01:16:42,058
- And no...
- It's not your life.

893
01:16:42,093 --> 01:16:45,061
- Yeah, so...
- This pursuit is your life.

894
01:16:45,096 --> 01:16:46,898
And this is yours.

895
01:16:46,933 --> 01:16:50,462
A certificate
of authenkitschity.

896
01:16:50,497 --> 01:16:52,134
It's all in the journey.

897
01:16:52,169 --> 01:16:55,071
If you really knew
where you were going,

898
01:16:55,106 --> 01:16:58,008
the sounds that you make
would probably be boring.

899
01:16:58,043 --> 01:17:01,077
You wanna be the one
that creates the new sound.

905
01:17:12,959 --> 01:17:14,992
There always has to be
some mystery.

906
01:17:15,027 --> 01:17:18,424
That surprise element is what

907
01:17:18,459 --> 01:17:21,933
turns you on as a person anyway.

908
01:17:21,968 --> 01:17:24,804
Don't ever let fear

909
01:17:24,839 --> 01:17:27,136

gonna judge me.

910
01:17:27,171 --> 01:17:30,073
You gotta shut that stuff out.

but the answer is to say,
I have a vision inside.

916
01:17:58,499 --> 01:18:00,631
This feels right to me,

917
01:18:00,666 --> 01:18:02,336
and here is what I do.

918
01:18:02,371 --> 01:18:06,307
You want people to have
an emotional response

919
01:18:06,342 --> 01:18:07,715
to what you do,

920
01:18:07,750 --> 01:18:12,610
especially if it involves sound,

921
01:18:12,645 --> 01:18:14,953
if it involves an aesthetic.

922
01:18:14,988 --> 01:18:16,724
A flamingo is an aesthetic.

923
01:18:16,759 --> 01:18:20,420
No one's ever gonna get bored
looking at a flamingo.

924
01:18:20,455 --> 01:18:22,895
So be a flamingo.

925
01:20:01,028 --> 01:20:02,225
Be a flamingo.

926
01:20:08,761 --> 01:20:10,728
