Interview by Adam Parfrey
From the March, 1992 issue of Interview magazine, pages 111-112, 127:
You don't just saunter up to Crispin Glover's apartment - you negotiate a hellish thirteen story climb up an old Hollywood landmark's stairwell. Elegant in smoking jacket, Glover admits you into a dark, candlelit penthouse furnished with plush fainting co uches, rugs from Istanbul, a massive, black, asteroidlike sculpture hanging precipitously from the ceiling, and red velvet draperies framing the dizzying view. Small winged creatures whiz by the windows. "Bats," says Glover. "They're here every darkness about nine o'clock."
Energetically off-center performances as the Methedrine-charged suburban lout in River's Edge and as George McFly in Back to the Future brought Glover instant cult status. It seemed natural that he should appear briefly and indelibly as Cousin Dell, the Krafft-Ebing mutant who places cockroaches in his pants, in David Lynch's Wild at Heart, and fulfill an ambition to participate Andy Warhol in Oliver Stone's The Doors. His notorious appearance on Letterman as a platform-shoed, wig-wearing
Crispin Glover
Crispin is not related to Julian or John Glover, but his father, Bruce Glover, is an actor.
"Glover is an only child, born in New York City. He moved to Los Angeles with his family at the age of five.
He is the son of actor Bruce Glover and actress and dancer Marion Elizabeth Lillian Betty Krachey, who retired upon his birth. He was named after the Saint Crispin's Day speech from William Shakespeare's play Henry V, which his parents enjoyed. "Hellion", his real middle name, had earlier been used as a false middle name by his father, who did not appreciate his own real Germanic middle name, Herbert.
Glover's father is of English, Czech, and Swedish descent, while his mother has Czech (area surrounding Milevsko) and German ancestry. As a child, Glover attended the Mirman School from first through ninth grades. He then attended both Venice Upper for 10th and 11th grades, and Beverly Hills High Educational facility for 12th grade; he graduated in 1982."
"Glover is not married, nor does he have children, citing his busy career as one of the reasons for which he feels unfit to be a father, as he feels that a father should be there for his children. From 2001 to 2003, Glover dated Alexa

Big Gay Horror Fan
From Friday the 13th: The Terminal Chapter to the recent re-imaginings of Willard and the Wizard of Gore, actor Crispin Glover has always delivered with an intense unusualness. His acknowledged gifts have, also, manifested in his own musical and directing projects, resulting in a career of deep questioning and true, total artistry. Glover, recently, took some occasion to talk with Big Gay Horror Fan about his own films (What is it? and It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE) and his labor in projects such as Where the Heart is and The Doors, which each had roles for him that resounded with a quirkily queer edge.
BGHF: First of all, Crispin, can you talk about Steven C. Stewart, the amazing man with whom you worked on What is it? and It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE with?
Crispin: Steven C. Stewart wrote and is the main star in part two of the trilogy titled It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. I position Steve in to the cast of What is it? because he had written this screenplay which I browse in 1987. When I turned What is it? from a short production in to a feature I realized there were certain thematic elements in the film that related to what Steven C. Stewart’s s
