As some of you might know I run the Warhol.dk site and yesterday I was looking through some of the quotes I've posted over there. I was going through some quotes from The Andy Warhol Diaries, when I noticed this one:

Wednesday, August 13, 1986
Went to see Stand by Me at the Coronet or Baronet. These four little kids and there's the Fat kid and the Brilliant kid and the Crazy kid. The only disappointing thing was that the kid who's a writer they show writing about it later in life, and this really cute little kid has turned into Richard Dreyfuss! It should've been Richard Gere. Then I would've been happy.

I'd written that quote down years ago, but it wasn't until yesterday it dawned on me that the kid Warhol is talking about is Wil Wheaton. The reason I originally added that quote to my site was that it's the second time Dreyfuss gets slammed in the diaries, which I thought was funny.

Anyway, I wrote Wil an email about it, because to me being mentioned in The Andy Warhol Diaries is one of the coolest things that could ever happen to a person. And I'm glad to see Wil thought it was cool as well.
And just for fun here's the other Dreyfuss quote:

Monday, April 3, 1978 - New York
I hated the Awards, I hated the whole thing. I hated every nominee and I hated everything that won. I must be really out of it. But nobody good like John Travolta won. I mean, Richard Dreyfuss? I mean, if he's a sexsymbol, I don't know what the world is coming to.
