Entertainment Asylum
Q&A With Vince Vaughn

Recently, Entertainment Asylum sat down with Vince Vaughn to talk about his role in the new film Clay Pigeons, as well as his other film roles, remaking classic movies, and how he feels about being famous...

EA: How did it feel to make Clay Pigeons? Was it rewarding?

VV: I think Janeane Garofalo rocks. We were having fun and kind of messing around.

EA: What does the title Clay Pigeons really mean?

VV: Well, the character's name is Clay, and he's sort of a target for me.

EA: What is it like to influence people with your movie Swingers?

VV: I don't know, I mean in all fashion it's kind of a pendulum. It's kind of a style. It will swing back in fashion.

EA: Are you anything like Trent in Swingers?

VV: I think everyone in life has a different hat that they wear and that's definitely a side of me. But I'm hopefully more dimensional then Trent.

EA: How often do you hear "You're so money, baby?"

VV: It depends, but quite a bit. For the most part it's flattering. It's strange being used on commercial. First we're a couple of geeks sitting around and then they're saying, "you are so money" on commercials. It's weird.

EA: You starred in two movies with Anne Heche recently: Return to Paradise and the new Psycho. What's it like working with Anne Heche?

VV: Anne Heche is a fine actress and a very nice, real person. I loved working with her.

EA: How was the filming of Psycho?

VV: Gus Van Sant is brilliant. When you have a boss who is really bright and warm, it affects the whole cast. I worked with actors who I really respected and had a great experience.

EA: How do you feel about the idea that the Psycho remake is blasphemy?

VV: Too many people look at the arts in a religious point of view. I look at it more child-like. I think that it is good to see different arts from different perspectives. One person's interpretation can be different then another person's. I think it's a compliment for someone to want to repeat a work.

EA: Do you feel famous?

VV: I was in LA for 8 years before I had an opportunity to play roles, so I don't think of myself as a star.

EA: Who inspired you to become an actor?

VV: I don't know. I wasn't a very good student and acting was what I always liked, so I just ran with it.

EA: In your opinion, what is the greatest novel you've read?

VV: The Fountainhead.

EA: Are you seeing anyone special?

VV: Yes.
