SF Chronicle interview

Interview0 Comments

Pintauro talks about staying grounded and not ending up a troubled former child star like many others have.

It wasn’t until I could get out of Stanford that I could sit down and think about my life, to do the things that most kids do, which is to ask who am I, what do I want to be when I grow up. I never got to do Dan Pintauro.

Zenk discusses the politics in WCW:

Yeah, it did. I’m not a liar. I mean I can manipulate but I don’t chose to be that way. Wrestling’s a business. So much for honesty, responsibility, quality or goodwill. They complicate the business by manipulating people. Why? Because they can – because they have the stroke. And they like to play with people’s lives. I’d like to talk to Seigel. Sit him down and say “Don’t you get it man, don’t you get it?

Fonda talks about her former husband Turner:

In some ways, he’s like my father, but he’s not dour. He’s full of life and funny, in fact, he’s a riot. And I tend to be overly serious, because I’m my father’s daughter. So it was wonderful for me to be with somebody lighthearted, well, Ted’s not really lighthearted, he’s deep, someone who gets that much of a kick out of life.

Groening is interviewed in his autobiographical documentary. He talks about how he was inspired to write The Simpsons from shows like Dennis The Menace and Leave It To Beaver. He also talks about being inspired by bland classic sitcoms and how his own family.

The sitcoms that I grew up with presented a sort of weird zombified idea of the American family.

Klain is interviewed for Inside Politics about the Gore campaign’s direction:

It’s the early stage of the campaign. What the vice president is talking about is an agenda to bring progress and prosperity to our country. I think it connects with voters. I think as the campaign goes on, and more and more people focus on that and hear that, his agenda, his message and his record will prevail this fall.

Steamboat speaks the injury he suffered in his last match in WCW:

I had my last match with Stone Cold and at the time he was wrestling as Steve Austin, just as Steve Austin in Roanoke, VA August of ’94. We were both standing on the top rope. He does a thing where he gives me a push off the top rope and is customary in our business, and which I have done a thousand times, like a lot of guys. You just fall straight back and land flat on your back. But this time, I don’t know, maybe there was some oil on the top rope or the turnbuckle. I’m guilty of it. I do put some baby oil just to enhance the body. My foot slips. As I’m falling back, instead of landing flat on my back I land in a sit up position. In other words, I land on my tail bone and I did a spinal compression on two discs.

Cosby discusses the death of her son Ennis in an interview with Esquire Magazine.

It was a fog in the sense that it was surreal. I couldn’t comprehend this. It was horror, and I couldn’t understand why this had happened. I had always taken great pride in protecting my children. I spoke to Ennis the night before he was killed and asked him to be careful about driving on the freeway in Los Angeles. So it was almost intuitive for me that something was about to happen. So then I felt bad that I didn’t stop him in some way, but I couldn’t. I was here; he was out there.

Hart talks about his most memorable matches in WWE:

Yeah I would probably have to say the hour match with Shawn Michaels in Anaheim. I’d have to say The Wrestlemania 13 match with Stone Cold Steve Austin and it’s really a toss up off the top of my head. Either the Wembley match with The British Bulldog or … yeah I’d have to say the Wembley match with The British Bulldog.

Daniels gives his thoughts about debuting in WCW:

This is my opportunity. I hope I get a fair shake, an opportunity to perform at my best on television and go from there. Right now, I think they are in the position where they will give guys an opportunity to shine. I think they’re trying anything they can do to offset the differential in ratings. I think right now, it’s a great time to be in WCW. If you’re a young talent, you’re more likely to get an opportunity than you would in the WWF, because they’ve got proven talent that they put on television night in and night out.

Sammartino speaks about leaving his position as a color commentator with WWE:

That’s why I left, I had to get out of there, because it wasn’t just the changes that I didn’t like that they were making But at the time, I saw the drugs the steroids and, the other things that were going on, that I found absolutely appalling. And I said no this isn’t the world of wrestling that I was a part of. I just had to get out of there, because I knew I didn’t belong and I just didn’t care for what was going on at all. At that time I thought the changes were rather drastic, but then never would have I believed what has happened in the last two years.

Beck is featured on the cover of Spin magazine with an interview inside the issue. During the issue Beck is questioned on career and the kind of music he wants to make.

I would love to come out with something that doesn’t sound like anything that ever happened before. But to do that you’d need to surrender all earthly pleasures and weaknesses. How can you not be seduced by an AC/DC guitar riff? Or a fat beat from a Gap Band song? These are musical hamburgers. These are pleasures we can’t deny ourselves.

Edge talks about the start of his wrestling career:

Yeah, actually I’ve been wrestling for six years, about seven and a lot of people don’t really realize that because they consider it once you started in the WWF that’s where you started. I trained in Toronto, wrestled all across Canada, drove across frozen lakes, and slept on blue mats and ate cans of tuna, went all cross the eastern seaboards, went to Japan with Christian. So we wrestled all over the place and word got out about us I guess and little by little people started to take notice and then went down signed a contract, did the training camp, and that was the start of it.
