I cry night after night.
Do you have any hobbies or anything else that you are into right now that you enjoy spending time on?
Light stone: I don't have any special hobbies right now. Whenever I feel like today is a good day to not have to memorize lines, I take a drink to my room, put on a CD, and spend some time looking at magazines or the Internet. With the dog on my lap. I just gave up my old car, which I drove for 20 years, because it was too hard to repair and maintain. I just gave up my 20-year old car, which was hard to repair and maintain, and I am now free of that spell.
Is that a habit that has remained unchanged over the years?
Light stone: Yes, I have been drinking while listening to CDs for a while. I also cry when I watch videos on YouTube. There is a video of Alicia Keys singing in Times Square, and when I watch it, I cry. I get so excited that I send it to my friends in the middle of the night and they don't respond at all. But there was no response at all (laughs).
In a sense, the time spent crying is a detox.
Light stone: Maybe so. I especially cry when I watch them when I am weak. Recently, Azumi Takahashi. I was struck by a video of her singing on a subway concourse in New York City. A small Japanese woman was singing before her amateur night performance at the Apollo Theater, and people gradually gathered... I cried. When you watch it when you are weak, it makes you cry even more. I was moved by her desperate attempt to grasp something.
I am struck by the way they look at him.
Light stone: That's right. When I was a child, I was small and not good at anything, so I was only recognized by making others laugh, so I don't have much sympathy for people who are "too amazing. However, I am moved by short players in the NBA, or Nadeshiko Japan's efforts to face large Western athletes. It is truly a giant-killing. I have a weakness for that kind of thing.
