Thomas Wilson

I was an artistic dilettante for a while, in photography and collage and the visual arts.

I'm just truly out of things to say. I'm on the record about everything.

If you going to live by a certain code - as Bob Dylan said, you gotta serve somebody.

Gin has produced a drunken ungovernable set of people.

And by the same token, I appreciate math, because I can't do math. If I have to read a map or figure out the tip on a restaurant bill, I might start to tear up a little bit.

How it shaped my perception is this: I have become so indelibly identified as a character in pop culture that it has forced me to go deeply within myself to get a very very rock solid sense, to myself, of who I am.

I was studying acting in New York, and wasn't being hired by anyone to do anything other than to work in an Oriental rug warehouse.
