The World According To Mahoney
Solid gold From the Metro Times interview with Steve Guttenberg, in case you missed it the second time at the great defamer…
You had a string of hits in the 1980s. What have you been up to lately? There are 100,000 actors in the Screen Actors Guild. Only 2,000 of them make more than $75,000 (£42,000) a year. That means 98,000 actors make less than $75,000 a year. From 1980 to 1990, I shot more films than any other actor in the Screen Actors Guild apart from Gene Hackman. Everyone keeps asking me that stupid question: “What are you doing?” I say: “Why do I need to do anything? I’m rich.” Do you want me to be poor again? Do you want me to go back to making tomato soup out of ketchup and water? Or would you like me to be a multimillionaire and be rewarded for all the entertainment I gave you for all those years? I’m enjoying life now. If I was a plumber and I’d done the most plumbing jobs between 1980 and 1990, everyone would be saying: “What a great plumber” - he says “f**k you to the world and he’s enjoying himself.” But for some reason, as an actor, you’re not allowed to say: “I’m f**king rich, bro.”
If you’re so rich, why do you work at all any more? I love the fame and the money and the power. You have to keep working to have that. Listen to Hugh Grant. He freaking hates acting but he still works to have the money, fame and power. If he didn’t work, they’d forget about him - and when he arrived at a restaurant, a new Hugh Grant would have the best table. Fame, money and power: that’s why people become actors, directors or producers. They love the juice. I don’t care who you are. I’m sure if you dig deep, Joe and Ralph Fiennes do it because they want to be noticed. It’s great to see people liking my work but [sigh] I’m just saying what the truth is.”
you dont get it do ya, dreamer.
Police Academy, Short Circuit, Cocoon, Amazon Women on the Moon, Diner? Where have you been? The guy’s hotter than Colin Farrel’s case of the hivs!
yeah right. Guttenberg’s totally a thousandaire.
He taught to tall how to drive.
good for Gutenbergs…that dude was filming a movie 3 or 4 years back in my building and I used to see him taking his assistant out in to the back alley to smoke big fat dubies. P.S. your Cat is Dead? Seriously, he must have been f’ing stoned.
yeah I get it, mitch, he should be more thankful tha he has “fans” like you.
in order: Police Academy: kinda funny the first time, less so with each sequel Short Circuit: zap. Cocoon: Only memorable because of the old folks. Amazon Women On The Moon: not even funny on dope Diner: Barry Levinson, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly, Paul Reiser, Ellen Barkin and, oh yeah, Guttenberg.
Truthfully? OK, but far short of the methane gas he’s airing out in that interview.
This interview reminds of Heath Ledger’s quote from way back about doing bad work on purpose. These guys know how to use their delusions, as Axl might say.
Where’s the love for Three Men And A Fucking Baby, guys? Damn.
That’s right. We don’t need Guttenberg. WE don’t deserve Guttenberg at all. Let Steve enjoy his money with Scott Baio and that chick that was in “Valley Girl” and we shall all suffer not having their talent.
Easy Dude-I have tagged, and still tag some of the hottest gash in the Hollywood hills.
p.s. your cat is dead
Shut up, Guttenberg. Having a couple of bucks doesn’t mean you’re not a loser, BRO. You’re the poor man’s Paul Reiser - who’s the poor man’s Billy Crystal in his own right - for fuck’s sake.
“Who holds back the electric car? Who made Steve Guttenberg a star? We did…we did” Stonecutter’s anthem
gutenberg is the man. he owns you all. i say light fat cigars with 100 dollar bills mahoney. you should grow a mustache as a big f u to the world…and also to prove tom selleck has nothing on you.
yeah, like the Goot has time to tear himself away from the endless string of hot bitches he’s boning to worry about what renowned internet ass clown “sez you” has to say.
