Geez, everyone is dying. What`s up with that?

His character in Blue Velvet was freaky.

Someone whose real personna matched that of his film roles, always just on the knife edge of insanity.. vulnerable and dangerous. I'll remember him in his role as the photagrapher in the redoubt of Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now as typical of that. RIP.

2 gone, 1 to go. Things happen in 3's.

He was a great actor.

He definitely was one of a kind. Easy Rider was a great commentary of that time. RIP!!

The world is being run by retarded adolescents.

My favourite Denis Hopper role was in Flashback, an Abby Hoffman type character. He was brilliant. My favourite exchange in it was when he says to Keefer Sutherland: "See that girl at the bar. She is giving you the eye man." To which Keefer replied, "Which one?" Then Hopper says, "The one who looks like she was shot in the back with two cruise missiles."
