Biography
Among the weirder psychedelic sets of the later ’60s, the brand new York-based Lothar & the Hands People took particular satisfaction in augmenting a lot of their music using the Theremin, a then-futuristic device most famous because of its use within horror films (along with the Seaside Children’ “Great Vibrations,” that was used in it is incarnation of the Tannerin). Playing eccentric satirical rock and roll, good-time folk-rock, and experimental psychedelia, their materials wasn’t nearly solid enough to raise these to the rank of innovators. Although their initial album is their finest, they are many fondly appreciated for the trance-inducing “Space Hymn,” an Radio favorite for quite some time.

# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | [on Harry Dean Stanton] He is one of those actors who knows that his face is the story. |
2 | I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer. |
3 | It's one of the great tragedies of our contemporary life in America, that families fall apart. Almost everybody has that in common. |
4 | You're still much more afraid of the audience, and yet, on the other hand, you desperately want to plunge into new territory. So every once in a while, the opportunity to make this leap gets handed to you. It's like jumping into cold water. |
5 | Hollywood is geared toward teenage idiocy. |
6 | I'm not in demand. I'm all washed up. |
7 | There are places where writing is acting and acting is writing. I'm not so interested in the divisions. I'm interested in the way things cross over. |
8 | Don't you find it kind of self-indulgent for actors to go around writing parts for themselves? |
9 | I was different on drugs - crystal Methedrine, which had more of an edge. When you walked down the street, your heels made sparks. |
10 | [on working in films] "It's all about narcissism. Terrence Malick called it 'sanctioned vanity'. Everything is attended to. Would you like some Perrier? Anything we can do? May we throw ourselves on the ground in front of you? This unbelievable barrage of indulgence". |
11 | "The people the critics write for aren't important to me. As far as I'm concerned, Broadway just doesn't exist." Quoted in the August, 1970 issue of Playboy (page 19). |
12 | Personality is everything that's false in a human, everything that's been added on to him and contrived. |
13 | Collaboration - that's the word producers use. That means, don't forget to kiss ass from beginning to end. |
