Leo Fitzpatrick Quotes

I`ve known Larry Clark since I was fourteen. I`ve always skateboarded in Manhattan. Larry got into the scene in the early 90s, taking pictures and skating with us. Then one day he was like, I just got the money for this movie I`ve been talking about for the past two years. Do you want to come in and audition?" I said, "Sure." I had nothing better to do." - On getting the part in "Kids".

Before this, I never cared about a movie enough to really try very hard to get it. I usually go through the audition process just to please my agents, and I`ve blown a ton of auditions on purpose just because the movies were shit. But Storytelling" was completely different because I`m a huge Todd Solondz fan." - On "Storytelling".

I think that was part of the distributor`s scheme. Miramax didn`t introduce the actors at any of the screenings. That`s why a lot of people thought Kids was a documentary. I still meet people who think it was real. After I made Kids, I went back to working at a skate shop, just living life as a stupid skateboarder. But people would call the store and say, `I know you`re that guy from Kids. I`m going to come down there and kick your ass.` I would say, `Calm down, it was only a movie.` - On "Kids".
