I met Michael Milken for the first time with Oliver Stone at the Drexel Burnham offices in Los Angeles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've become friends with Michael Mann and Oliver Stone; I've seen those guys work and that was great to see.
I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool.
It's amazing how you meet people through other people. I knew a racecar driver, Stefan Johansson, who was very hot. He introduced me to Jean Todt. He introduced me to a French doctor. He introduced me to a French architect who redid the Louvre with I.M. Pei. He introduced me to Daniel Boulud.
The first time I went to New York, I met Alan Freed.
I met Evan Rachel Wood, James Woods, Kevin Bacon at Sundance. Steve Buscemi is pretty laid-back. I met Judy Greer in Vegas, and she was cool.
Robert Mapplethorpe, I met in 1967. He was a student at Pratt, though even as a student a fully formed artist. We went through many things in our life together. He became my loved one, then my best friend.
I met Taylor Lautner and Jonah Hill at the 'Today Show.' That was pretty cool.
The first time I met Elizabeth Edwards, she greeted me at the door of her home juggling a yogurt in one hand and a Diet Coke in the other.
I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael Cooper was doing several of their album covers.
The first time I met Michael, we saw each other on a TV show.
