Now with the intire interview avable...!
"I'll use a cigar to pause before I jump to a conclusion," admits Assante. "I smoke a cigar when I want more stillness in my mind, and upon exhaling the sweetness of a cigar I generally am editing my own thoughts about something I might be working on or about the person I am listening to.
Armand Assante tells about his own documentary "The Blind Dragon"....a documentary he work long on....it´s about the landmines:
".......The somewhat unusual title, Assante explains, has significant meaning. " 'Blind Dragon' is a metaphor. A land mine is a weapon that does not distinguish a child from a soldier who is on a border where he should not be, hence it is 'blind.' A dragon lives forever in the earth and a dragon's teeth cuts its victim in half. There have been many metaphors used to describe weapons. 'Dragon' is a popular one.".......

The director Steve Martinez (also behind "Citizen Verdict" and "Dot.Kill") and the whole artistic staff making the movie "Steam" went from location Detroit to Grand Rapids, Michigan and rewrote the manuscript, so that the plot going on in the movie actually took place in Grand Rapids it self. They build movie set inside the city's Amway Grand Plaza Hotel....

Armand Assante took the role of the detective Jack Manzini, he says:
The detective role appealed to me the most, because of the way he approached the story,
he has a very interesting interrogation scene that leads the way. It's almost as if the audience is the investigator." from Mlive.com
WoodTVblog...there is a summery of the events...
A videotake from YouTube with the exitement in Grand Rapids as the movie was made (Glimses of Armand.)...YouTube

The Nauryz Holiday
Celebration in New York
Rosevelt Hotel, Manhattan
and Astana, Kasakhstan
But the tradition is to celebrate this on March 22, Springtime Equinox.
The Nauryz holiday has been celebrated not only in Kazakhstan but also in foreign countries.
Kazakh folk songs and melodies, which are new to New York City residents, were played this day at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan.
A concert dedicated to the holiday of spring was held in one of its halls.
It was organized by the Consulate General of Kazakhstan in New York and the Kazakh-American Alliance.
Actor Armand Assante was quite fascinated about the history and culture of Kazakhstan. He sincerely congratulated everyone with the oncoming of spring.
It seems like Armand Assante was present at the New York celebration of this event.
