Acting can be pretty challenging. I cant say making a romantic comedy is challenging, but to do anything well, you have to put yourself into it. – John Cusack
The movies have got more corporate, theyre making fewer movies in general, and those they are making are all $200-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen. – John Cusack
I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Whos to say anybodys even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that Ive done, people still recite lines to me, even 20 years later. – John Cusack
With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how youre gonna get out of it. Its like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When youre acting, you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy, and have the cameras rolling. – John Cusack
