1\ At the age of 16, Gallo was kicked out by his gambler father and paid for his tuition by taking odd jobs.
He traveled to Europe alone, wandering, sometimes begging for a living. That experience turned Gallo into a social fringe and a freewheeling performance artist. He's been crazy about rock and punk, has been a guitarist and lead singer for several bands, he's been a professional motorcycle racer, he likes to break dance, and he's good at drawing—and eventually an actor.
The above is the resume of Vincent Gallo, AS WE KNOW.
2\ In 1998, I wrote, directed and acted in the semi-autobiographical film "Buffalo 66". The tone of the whole film was moving towards the fate of children who lack love in their original families. I don't like it very much. Until the dramatic second ending, which is also the first time I saw the male lead laugh in this film (and also when he let go of his ego).
It turns out that the children of the original family lacking love, self-salvation, not by rock and punk. He has always been a performance artist. And only this way, living for all beings as a performance artist, is the complete cure.
Also, off topic, some people say that only religion can surpass art, but in a sense, I think Master Hongyi is also a performance artist, a selfless performance artist. Ah.
