Did you ever have a situation like that where someone said one thing and you were just totally turned off?
Mm-hmm.
I remember this. I had this very, very good friend, Michael Kelly, and he had to move to Cincinnati for a couple years to be a reporter, and he didn't know anyone. And he was trying to date, and he finally went out on a date with this really cute girl.
And somehow in the course of the evening when he was ordering wine, he realized she thought that burgundy wine was burgundy because it was colored burgundy. And he said to me, I had to decide if I was going to say anything or I was going to be very, very quiet because I really needed to go home with her. So he was very, very quiet.
Mm-hmm.
But he was an onophile. He loved wine, so I don't think it had a long-term future.
Yeah, that's the right word, right?
That sounds like a Woody Allen line.
Like the end of Annie Hall. They need the eggs.
Yeah, no. I would love to be married.
I think I would be really good at it.
Well, there's a great part in the Al Pacino piece in the book where, you know, I'm pressing him, and he did not like to talk about his love life, and I'm asking him why he never got married, and He said, well, if he could find someone who wouldn't mind living down the block, he might do it.
Didn't Bette Davis or some of these people like Sartre, they had apartments next door, but he wanted someone down the block.
Well, there is one person in the book who's like you and has absolutely no interest in marriage or kids, and that's Ralph Fiennes. And it was interesting to talk to him about that. He's a very interesting combination of... He's a real gentleman, like I went to the wrong restaurant and missed half our interview. And he said, don't worry, we'll do it tomorrow morning at breakfast.
And very few movie stars would do that.
No, but he, you know, he is also has a kind of a hedonistic streak. He's a bit of a libertine. And he said he was the oldest and he raised, you know, Guy in Shakespeare in Love was his brother. And he said he got rejected for Shakespeare in Love because Julia Roberts didn't fancy him. Hmm. But he just has, you know, just no interest.
Yes. A Nazi.
You're right.
But you should have him on this show. He's a really fascinating guy. Please.
He's friends with Andy Cohen. And Andy Cohen said he loves all kinds of women, whatever age, whatever shape. Wow. You put a woman in front of him and he can appreciate her. Oh, wow.
