VICTOR ROSS by GREGORY PRESCOTT

Colin Farrell

Mr. Farrell, does belief change your personal outlook on life?

Belief is very important. It’s like when you are riding a horse and you want it to go to the left, you look to the left first and then pull the horse’s head. As a human being it is the same thing: wherever you put your attention is probably where you are going to find yourself. With that in mind, the ideas of imagination and stories are very important for a more real and centralized truth.

Do you believe in fairy tales?


I believe in fucking everything, man. Human life is magic – in all its tragedies and all its glory; it’s really magic that we exist here at all. If you think about what it takes to create a life it’s just insane, but we get away from that way too easily.

Because we worry too much?

Yes, because we are consumed with existence, mortgages, jobs, competition, clothes, cars, houses. It is nice to allow the imagination room to breath again and see life as something that is spectacular and magic. And sometimes we need the imagination to do that, to take us out of our immediate environment. Then we can come back into our environment with that gift that we’ve been bestowed.

Would you agree that people in smaller villages aren’t as affected by these worries?

There is a more community-based existence and people share their lives more. They don’t have the fortune or misfortune to isolate from each other as much as possible. I am not saying that people don’t choose to, but in the city people tend to be more self-centered even though they are more crushed together.

They can be anonymous.

City people tend to be more self-centered and self-driven, where in the smaller villages – and of course these are generalizations – people share stories, experiences, grief, and celebration. The support behind local football teams in certain rural villages around Ireland, for example, is insane; it’s brilliant. They all gather in the pub and celebrate a victory, you know.

Speaking of pubs, you once said that you learned at your first acting job how to drink during work.

Yeah, that was a mad gig. But I was too drunk and hyperactive back in the day.

Do you drink at all anymore?

Nah, I just have no desire to do that anymore. I am very fucking lucky that way, that it’s not something I white-knuckle my way through, that it’s not something that I feel like I am lacking in my life.

Did becoming a parent change your outlook on things?

I actually don’t think that parenthood changes you. I don’t think it does in and of itself – I know it doesn’t. Look around the world and you can see that it doesn’t. And I was adamant that it wouldn’t change me.

Not many people would sit here and tell me that…

But it doesn’t change your life. You can use it as a platform for change, which I eventually did. Three years into being a father I was like, “Why am I so fucking insistent that being a father shouldn’t change my life?” It should change my life. Is my life so fucking good that it shouldn’t be changed? I mean, personally? And then I let it in more and that was the way it was. I was adamant that I was just going to be the cool dad and I wasn’t having a son, I was having a friend – you know, all that kind of stuff. So eventually I let the change in. Yeah, it’s a glorious change, Jesus.

Are there any worries that come with being a father?


The world has always been an incredibly dangerous place, but I live in very safe circumstances. Fear is an incredibly powerful force and I think in order to not let fear become a destructive thing you must acknowledge it and not let it dominate your life. I will just do my best to protect my son.

No more drinking, raising kids, working all the time. How do you balance your life?

I do have it really good. I have a house in Los Angeles and an apartment that I rent in Dublin even though I only stay there about three times a year – Christmas for two weeks and then I try to bring my son home at least once a year so he can hear the great Irish accent from somebody other than me. That gives my life the balance I need. Where I come from is very important to me.

You still have that image of the bad boy, though. Is that something you don’t want to be attached to anymore?

I am not attached to anything with regard to people’s opinions. Which is not to say opinions don’t affect me, but I am definitely not attached to them. I run not from anything nor run towards anything either, do you know what I mean?

People often say that having kids makes them choose different films. I guess that doesn’t count for you either?


I am only going to do Pixar films from now on. No, there is no specific kind of criteria of what I want to pursue regarding my work. When you read something and it speaks to you, you know it right away. Of course it always depends a bit on where you are in your life as well or even the kind of mood that you are in when you read it, but something either speaks to you or it doesn’t.

What about the scripts with a big paycheck attached to them, maybe you choose those yourself?

I love a big paycheck; it’s grand. I have no repulsion to that idea. I love a good action film, I love the spectacle of going to the cinema, so if I can find something big that I think can reach the goals it has, that will open big, then I do it. But only if I like it. In the past years it has just seemed like the more intimate films were the ones worth it.

Voce gosta de colorir??

Jonna  Pohjalainen inventou um maneira muito bonita de expressar seu amor por lápis de colorir.. nas suas palavra

     "I used local aspen in my work because of its lively forms and beautiful, grey colour. While you sharpen your pencils you can see time passing by. Colours bring joy and happiness in our everyday life.

I chose a place of of my work because of the sunsets. You can sit and meditate near my work and look at the sunsets. Without sun there are no colours and life!"

TARAGAN MOON by ELAD Y BARON

Swing, man. Carta do Frank Sinatra para George Michael

Em setembro de 1990, George Michael deu uma entrevista para a LA Time’s Calendar Magazine reclamando do peso do sucesso. O nome da matéria era “O Pop-Star Relutante”. Ele simplesmente deu um ataque de diva, e disse que para o proximo cd não ia mais fazer show, nem dar entrevista, muito menos clip promocional. Os fãs ficaram arrasados. George recebeu muitas cartas, e entre elas, uma de nimguem menos que o Frank Sinatra, dando aquela enquadrada, de uma forma sincera e inteligente, digna de sua alma elegante. Essa mesma carta, na sua versão original foi publicada uma semana depois na mesma revista. Saia-justa é pouco. Vai a carta ai baixo para todos se deliciarem...

Tom Ford

Mr. Ford, have you had a midlife crisis?


Yes. Leaving Gucci was devastating for me. Devastating because I had really put everything into that for fifteen years and all of a sudden I had no identity. “Who am I? What am I doing? I have no forum to speak to anyone anymore or to convey my thoughts or ideas.” Maybe I drank a little too much – living in London that’s a very easy thing to do. The emphasis in my life maybe switched to things that were not the important things. So yeah, I had a bit of a midlife crisis. I wish there was a better term for that. It comes to everybody, maybe in your thirties, maybe in your forties, maybe in your sixties or seventies, who knows. You get to the moment where you feel the clock is ticking and you are wondering if you are really getting the most out of your life.


If you have everything in life it is easier to lose yourself, it seems.

And if you do have everything it is also easier to understand that those are not the important things. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t get to that point. They spend their lives striving and still don’t learn those lessons. Other people figure it out at age twenty and they’re completely balanced and together and understand how to keep things in check from an early age.

How would you describe your current state of mind?

I feel that I don’t need anything for a good life. I grew up in New Mexico and the older I get I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space. So I have some sort of security that if I lost everything in my life, I would be very happy with the simple things because they are the ones that are important.

So the glamour you stand for doesn’t interest you?

After just being in New Mexico for two months, I realized that I could really work from anywhere. I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.

Do you get the most inspiration from nature? It is the ultimate beauty, after all.

Yes, nature is the closest thing to God and I don’t mean God by any sort of religion but by the connection to the universe, which I think we have lost. The American Indians had that and where I live is actually the center of the Anasazi Indian civilization. I even have two huge Anasazi ruins on the property of my ranch. I am not saying that there definitely is some sort of spirituality coming from there, but there might be. When you are close to the earth and you get up when the sun comes up and you go to sleep when it goes down, it puts everything in perspective.

Really?

Yes, all the rest of this crap just fades away. We’ve lost our contact with the earth. Dogs don’t have guilt, dogs don’t have insecurity complexes, dogs don’t think that they need a bigger house than the other dog. Dogs are just completely themselves. They’re very in touch, they’re not thinking about their death. They are just rolling on their back, enjoying what that feels like. I think that is sort of the appeal of animals in our lives; that is what’s important.

Are you a spiritual person?

I am a spiritual person in an eastern religion kind of way. I learned that happiness for all of us is a switch that you flick in your brain. It doesn’t have anything to do with getting a new house, a new car, a new girlfriend, or a new pair of shoes. Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today. We always think that we need something else to be happy.

This all sounds like you have a tough time living the Hollywood life that everybody expects you to.

I did have a tough time dealing with it and I have learned how to separate it. It is a performance; it is me playing a role. I am not saying that there are no aspects of it that I enjoy; I love beautiful women, beautiful dresses, and beautiful flowers. But all those things have to stay in perspective. There is nothing wrong with loving the fact that we are physical beings but you have got to keep them in perspective. It is just a diversion. It’s one of the nice things in life, like eating a great steak or kissing a good kisser – well, kissing a good kisser is maybe more valuable than all the other stuff – but these are things you have to leave behind when you leave the planet. When I am on my deathbed, I don’t think I will be thinking about a nice pair of shoes I had or my beautiful house. I am going to be thinking about an evening I spent with somebody when I was twenty where I felt that I was just absolutely connected to them.

Are you really that much of a romantic?


Yeah, I’m really a romantic.

How long does it take every morning for you to become that Tom Ford you were talking about before?

It takes me a long time in the morning to become the person that other people expect me to be. When I feel depressed and I have a bad day or something terrible has happened or I have to face something, I go through a very precise ritual getting dressed in the morning. In a sense it is armor; I’m building up a layer. If everything in my material world is in order, I will be able to get through it. That perfectionism comes from me being a Virgo. My inner world is related to my outer world. If my house is a wreck, I’m a wreck. If I am together, that’s together. That’s a kind of balance.

For many years you’ve shared your life with your boyfriend Richard Buckley. Is he your idea of a good life?

Richard is the person I love the most in the world and the person I have been together with for 23 years. So yes, but so are my dogs. I’ve asked myself, “If I were to die tomorrow what are the things that I will remember?” and I realized that nuzzling up with one of my dogs is one of the most precious things in my life! That would be something I would miss so much.

It must be important to have somebody that goes with you through that whole journey of life, somebody that shows you that it is not about the next fashion show or advertisement you shoot.

Of course it is. I am still friends with the people I went to school with. A lot of them have been working with me for the past 18 years. When you find somebody good, keep them! Keep them in your life.

Do you especially treasure the people you are close to because it is difficult for you to meet new people?

Honestly, I don’t meet very many people. I am married but no one comes on to me, ever. It is like I don’t exist sexually. No one, no one.

You are Tom Ford after all, so people probably think they don’t have a chance anyways.

Maybe that is the reason, but no one, no one flirts, no one comes on to me. Usually when people are personal with me, then they want to give me their business card at the end of the conversation.

So you wish you would get hit on more often?

Of course! (Laughs) Why not? I am not saying I would act on it, but it would be nice.
