Quote: cell-phoneless savage

[wowie]

He has arrived carrying a laptop computer, which he is immediately sheepish about. He is something of a Luddite. He likes to be barefoot, sometimes even at fancy Hollywood functions. Until recently, when he started watching soccer, the one television in his Venice, California, home, was used solely to play movies. He carries no mobile phone.

"I've been portrayed as a cell-phoneless savage," he says, not unhappily. But today he has got something to show me: galleys of several books soon to be published by Perceval Press, a small company he owns. He flips open his PowerBook G4, shrugs, and says, "Anybody can be co-opted."

Hmmmm.....those pics of him lying in the road talking on a cell phone were quite a while before this interview, right? Naughty Viggo telling tales again *lol*

That pic from Sachie is to die for!

The 'curb appeal' pics were definitely from before this interview. He's too funny!
