I'd give him my heart, but he wanted my soul.
Permalink | 19 notes "No. I told Judy. I got the call from [our manager] Bernie
Brillstein. He called me at the office in New York. It was a
beautiful March day and absolutely spectacular in New York. The
weather was warm and clear and the streets were full of people
enjoying the sunshine. I’ll never forget that walk from 150
Fifth Avenue to Morton Street to Judy’s house, because I was
thinking, I can’t get in a cab, I’ve got to keep walking.
Richard Pryor described it when he was burned: He just kept
running to stay alive. He knew if he stopped he was going to
die. I had that same desperation. I knew if I stopped, it was
going to get me, so I just had to walk and get there before Judy
heard it on the radio. I managed to get there and I told her.
“He’s dying” is all I said. And that was the most painful part
for me. After John, Gilda died. I guess the only question is,
Who’s next? Gilda and John are gone, and gone before the close
of a millennium, which is kind of frightening, because it didn’t
have to happen. Her cancer should have been detected much
earlier. And John did not have to die from that speedball,
because he should have just left L.A. He shouldn’t have been
hanging around with those people. He should never have gotten to
the point where he was fucking with that shit."
