In this clip from the upcoming documentary about his life, Harlan Ellison (noted short story, novella, and television (classic Star Trek, the original Outer Limits) candidly speaks about why/when a writer should be paid. Never one to be afraid to take a shot at anybody (do some research about his pseudonym Cordwainer Bird), Harlan has some not-so-nice things to say about people who don’t want to pay him.
Where are you living?
I live in Newbury Park… pretty much in the middle of nowhere!
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Agoura. It’s about 10min north of the valley. I started skating there, then moved to N.P. when I was 16.
What do you miss about your hometown? What don’t you miss?
Well if were talking about Agoura… I don’t miss anything. That place sucks! Newbury has it’s ups and downs. It’s cool because all my friends live out
here, but other then that it’s pretty standard.
Favorite place to get away from it all?
I’m still looking for that place!
Do you do any other sports?
Surf and Snowboard… I’m going for the XXX award this year at the Xgames!
What kind of kid were you in school?
I was actually a pretty good kid. I never really got into trouble in school. I just wanted to skate. I was a total skate rat. It was a little different back then though because skating wasn’t really popular yet. So I wasn’t cool in high school and I didn’t really have a ton of friends. We were kind of just outcast. We just didn’t get a shit about anything but skating!
What’s your typical day like?
My day is pretty much the same everyday. I wake up around 11am, meet up with some people and go skate. I usually get home around 10pm and just chill.
How many airports have you been to in the last 3 months?
Jeeze… maybe 15!
What’s your favorite part about traveling?
My favorite part about traveling is skating new spots. I seriously base everything off of skating. If there’s nothing to skate in that city then I write that city off. I get soo burnt out on skating the same spots every single day, so it’s so nice going to skate new spots.
What’s your family like? Do they skate?
My family’s pretty athletic. My dad and my sister both surf. My mom kinda just chills. Does the whole mom thing. And my little brother skates. He’s really good!!!
What are your favorite websites?
To tell you the truth, I’m not a huge internet person. I like being out and doing shit ya know! But if I am on the internet it’s either for myspace or The Berrics!
Top 3 hottest babes?
khiera knitley or how ever you spell her name. Angolina jolie, and lets go with Beyonce
What was your hardest slam ever?
I flew off of a motorcycle going about 45mph. That put me out for a couple months!
Do you play video games? What are your favorite games?
I don’t really play video games, but one of my friends brought nintendo wii over. That stupid thing is pretty fun! We were playing tennis for like 5 hours.
Top 5 Favorite Videos
Mouse, Photosynthesis, Feedback, The Reason, Modus Operandi
What kind of car do you drive?
I have a Acura Tl and a Honda Civic. The Honda is a totally skate car. I drive that thing everyday.
Favorite fast food?
In & Out
Who was your first sponsor and how did you get hooked up?
My first sponsor was Duffs shoes. I just made sponsor me tapes and sent em out. They were the first to call me back.
