Well, acting itself is a form of rebellion, always. Getting up there in front of people, telling stories – you’re kind of going against the grain to begin with, wanting to do that, don’t you think? Why else would you do it? Except maybe as kind of a way to affirm your very existence. John Cusack Read Quote
I’ve seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they’re talking about. John Cusack Read Quote
I try not to dwell on the past. I’m not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person. John Cusack Read Quote
If you wanna give me an award, I’ll take it. Just don’t make me go to the party afterwards. John Cusack Read Quote
People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that. John Cusack Read Quote
I was never a joiner. I tried – I had people I admired and liked and wanted to hang with, but I ended up starting a theatre company and that took me back to Chicago… I guess I wasn’t a scenester in the end. Something must have worked out right, as I’m still here – but I’m only a binge socialite. John Cusack Read Quote
I’m definitely nostalgic about the music of my youth; The Clash and Fishbone and that whole music scene. I still have all that music to this day. There was some great music going on in the late 70s and 80s. John Cusack Read Quote
Our parents more or less just kind of wanted us to pursue our passions. Whatever they would have been, they would have helped light the fire. They are very liberal, artistic people, but they didn’t force us into acting. They let us find our own ways. John Cusack Read Quote
Death is a billion-dollar business. They can’t even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don’t you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver’s license? It’s totally insane. John Cusack Read Quote
I was only in one of the John Hughes films, and I never saw the other ones. I didn’t understand them. I kept hearing a really hip 40-year-old person talking in teenagers’ mouths. John Cusack Read Quote
