FranLebowitz on MikeBloomberg in 2014: 'Whenever people say, 'Oh he earned his money himself,' I always say the same thing: 'No one earns a billion dollars. People earn $10 an hour, people steal a billion dollars.''
Interview by David Hershkovits / Portrait by Rodolfo MartinezFran Lebowitz loves to talk — so much so that when Martin Scorsese made a documentary about her he called it.
Even though Lebowitz is back to writing again , that doesn't mean she's stopped talking. On a recent summer day she sounded off on everything from Lena Dunham to gay marriage, and we did the only thing you really can do when Fran starts talking — we listenedI would say that the changes in New York that I most object to came under Michael Bloomberg, and I would have objected to these if I was 20 or if I was 12. The second that Bloomberg appeared on the political scene, I objected to him.
I don't sleep, so at four in the morning, I flip around on the TV. That's how I watch television. I used to always read before bed, but I couldn't sleep. It's too stimulating, so I thought I would watch TV since it's boring. I'm not knowledgeable about these shows; they're not on at three in the morning.People don't like to go to the movies anymore, including me. I don't like to go to the movie theater because I cannot bear my fellow man.
I really go to very few screenings because you can't leave. If you do leave, people are so insulted. I don't want to sit there to avoid insulting someone. Even if you think you're slithering out the back, someone will see you. They will think you're criticizing the movie, which of course you are, if you're leaving. A long time ago, I decided: if you don't like the movie, leave. This is not a jail sentence.The idea that those words are together is so hilarious to me.
