there is a movie of marlon brando. but i must say, i remember it was a time in the 1960's, it was some boy from the suburbs. i suppose little gangs who were supposed to be bad boys. maybe i was a very polite boy. i was a little fascinated by bad ones. [laughter] it came from my fascination with movies, with james dean, most of all marlon brando. all wore rebellious close. i find it very attractive and very interesting. of course, i should say that i love a lot of other things. cinema was also showing that kind of rebellion of the street. for me, maybe it became like those things are not that bad. and they're already recognized. they show some kind of people that i am not at all part of. but also, i use it may be after -- it inspired me. i love to make them all. the code of what is decent and a decent. what is elegant, not elegant. what is luxurious or not luxurious. changing to the time. >> let's talk now about one of the frontiers that you broke down. you're one of the first to do. you went into the streets of paris b

when i think of burr's intentions, i think of marlon brando in the movie, "the wild ones," where he leads a motorcycle gang into this hokey california town, and he terrorizes them in rather a quaint way. about halfway true the movie the -- through the movie the sweet young thing says to brando, johnny, what are you rebelling against? and brando says, well, what have you got? and burr has that element. and to be serious for a moment, he had this need for fame, and fame was something that the founding generation was candid about wanting. people like washington, people like madison and jefferson and adams saw fame as the greatest thing a person could achieve. and it wasn't the sort of empty celebrityhood we see today with the people in the gossip columns. this was people knew who you were because you were important because you did something important, because you were a person of character and integrity. and it was a measure of your worth that you were known. and burr needed that. he needed that in a powerful way. um, the expedition, that the expedition had a dark side, i think, is demonstra

in "guys and dolls" -- the one that hit me the hardest was the movie with marlon brando and frank sinatra -- there were only two blacks, and they were both shoeshine boys. i mean, we're in a different life today, and they wrote about losers. in runyon's time a loser was a guy who lost his money at the racetrack or at a crap game or had a woman steal the money from him, and you could make great fun of him. today we have losers in brooklyn -- we have 750,000 or a million of them -- and they have lost a life and you cannot dare make fun of that. so, i mean, it's a much different time. when you write about the losers of today, you're writing of a much different type of people, and much more responsibility on you as you do so. c-span: let me go back to something you said earlier about -- i don't want to put words in your mouth -- but something about politicians. >> guest: do it. the way you do it is good. i'll accept yours anytime. c-span: let me just ask you about politicians. you said something to the effect that they're empty. >> guest: absolutely. c-span: what did you mean? >> guest: we'll
