“I was in an airplane from Rome to Munich and there was a man sitting next to me, and you know, in planes you talk, and he said, "What do you do for a living?" And I say, "I'm an actor." And I had already a picture and showed him my head shot, and he said, "Interesting, give me your number." Took out his passport, wrote my number, and I said, "Who are you?" He said, "My name is Paul Morrissey and I work for Andy Warhol." And I remembered at the beginning it was Trash, Flesh, very artistic movies with Joe Dallesandro. And "Okay, nice meeting you." So then a couple of weeks later I got a call: "Hey, it's Paul. You remember the man in the plane? I'm doing for Carlo Ponti, you know, the husband of Sophia Loren, I'm doing Frankenstein in 3D, and I have a little role for you." And I said, "Wow, thank you, great. What do I play?" And he said, "Frankenstein." And I thought that's not true. Anyway, it was true, and I became Doctor Frankenstein. And at the end of the film, we shot the film for, we had $100,000 in three weeks in 3D, and at the end of the film, there was Fellini was shooting next door and in the cantina were all these ex, wonderful figures, and I was sitting there having a glass of wine and I thought, well, Andy Warhol said everybody is famous for 15 minutes, my 15 minutes are gone, so I was a little sad.”
