Q : Tell us about how you stepped into the sensible shoes of the young Allen Ginsberg the year he entered Columbia University?
DR:
The first point of reference for me was his diaries. He had quite
extensive diaries that he kept from a very young age. They gave me some
very great insight into him for this period. After that, the other stuff
was working on the voice and the accent, and work on his physicality.
And then the final piece of it was the contact lenses, and the glasses
and the permed hair...
Q: Did you get Ginsberg’s signature buck teeth?
DR:
No I didn’t. We did something to the lips, slightly filled them out,
because he did have really full lips. We didn’t get mine to the place
his were. That would have looked ridiculous.
