Crimson: Were you already friends with Tom before the movie?

Liotta: No. No, as a matter of fact, toward the second or third audition, they wanted to pair us up. I came in; they told me to be there at 11 O'clock or something and that the other actor would be there. And I couldn't imagine who it was going to be, because from what I heard, a lot of actors that you would probably know by name were very interested in this, so I had no idea who it was going to be. All of a sudden, in walks this little dog, and then in walks Amadeus. I'm saying, "Wow, holy shit!" And he was wondering who he was going to be matched up with. He saw Something Wild and liked my work, and I liked his work. So we were just very open because we knew what the story was about, so if we didn't like each other, then they would have picked it up, and we would have never gotten the job. So I consider him a close friend, and I hope he always will be.

Crimson: How was working with Jamie Lee Curtis?

Liotta: Great. She's a really nice, spunky girl. It was nice kissing her for a day. I kept on messing up the takes. We had to keep on redoing it. She was there with her baby and her husband, so they were off living in a different area than I was. But as we were working, yeah, I got to know her.

Crimson: Now that you've finished Dominick and Eugene, do you plan to wait for a new and challenging role again?

Liotta: Yeah. I'm reading something now about this tango dancer in Argentina. That's kind of different. So hopefully, that will work out. It's by the people who did Kiss of the Spider Woman, so it's with a good group of people. To me, the most important thing is the story. If it's a nice part and a good story, [the part] doesn't have to be that large. It doesn't have to be the lead. What I'm saying is that there aren't a lot of good writers out there, not a lot of good scripts. So you read a lot, and the ones you like, you just go for it.
