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
Except for her head.

<i>- Hi, Cindy!
- Hello, Rigo.</i>

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...

- Kitten Kay Sera.
- Okay.

You're The Pink Lady, right?

380
00:49:26.261 --> 00:49:28.393
Yes, The Pink Lady of Hollywood.

381

<i>♪ I see la vie en rose ♪</i>

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 you're loving your...

455
00:52:22.305 --> 00:52:24.668
and you're living your passion
and your dream...

456
00:52:24.703 --> 00:52:27.605
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

Yeah.

that you are.

Nobody.

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.

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

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>

<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.

646
01:03:53.897 --> 01:03:55.523
Hi, John.
- Hi.

647
01:03:56.625 --> 01:03:57.899
Welcome to Baltimore.

648
01:03:57.934 --> 01:03:59.703
Thank you. Thanks for having me
here in your house.

649
01:03:59.727 --> 01:04:01.331
- Sure.
- Um...

650
01:04:01.366 --> 01:04:03.069
What's on your brain?

651
01:04:04.105 --> 01:04:05.940
What's on my brain every day?

652
01:04:05.975 --> 01:04:07.700
I have to get up every morning

653
01:04:07.735 --> 01:04:09.801
and think up fucked up things.
That's my job.

654
01:04:09.836 --> 01:04:12.507
The same way people go to
a factory to work,

655
01:04:12.542 --> 01:04:13.772
to go to a store.

656
01:04:13.807 --> 01:04:16.214
That's my job,
is to think up weird things.

657
01:04:31.132 --> 01:04:33.033
<i>♪ You got what I want ♪</i>

658
01:04:33.068 --> 01:04:34.562
<i>♪ You got what I need ♪</i>

659
01:04:35.763 --> 01:04:37.301
<i>♪ Shoot your shot ♪</i>

660
01:04:38.667 --> 01:04:40.502
<i>♪ You know how I feel ♪</i>

661
01:04:40.537 --> 01:04:42.042
<i>♪ Come on make it real ♪</i>

662
01:04:43.111 --> 01:04:44.506
<i>♪ Shoot your shot ♪</i>

663
01:04:46.081 --> 01:04:47.872
<i>When I was young,
I was a puppeteer</i>

664
01:04:47.907 --> 01:04:49.280
<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
or how are people
gonna judge me.

910
01:17:27.171 --> 01:17:30.073
You gotta shut that stuff out.

911

915
01:17:52.460 --> 01:17:58.464
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

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
