In 1976 Andy Warhol interviewed Ginger for his Interview Magazine, here’s a short excerpt of their conversation that was published in the April 1976 issue:
Andy Warhol:Do you like movies you see today?
Ginger: Truly, dear, I don’t get a chance to see too much, to be quite honest with you. No, I have a theory about what I do. I feel that, personally, unless I can add something to the betterment of the world, I don’t want to be a part of it. Now that may seem highfaluting to you but there’s an attitude towards life that each of us have that we pursue and I have an attitude of that kind of thinking since I was small. It’s not unusual, really. Each of us are directed in different channels and different thinking patterns. My pattern happens to be one that may not coincide with many others but I’m privileged to have it. Right? It would be like putting me in Russia where I don’t speak the language and asking me to make my ken. So I can’t involve myself in things that don’t have some amount of fun, joy, happiness, gaiety--that kind of thing. If it has to be violence and killing and obscenities and nudity and stuff like that, it’s just not my bag. It isn’t my bag and never has been and never could be and I would look like a fish out of water. And I know it. I’m wise enough to know that that’s not for me. I’d love to have the privilege of doing another film or two or three or four, but I would want it to be something that suits my particular “costuming,” shall we say.
