I was never into the popular school or clique or anything. Then I started doing movies when I was in high school, so then I got popular. Then the girls paid attention to you who didnt before. – 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
Its something we, guys, have all done. Made tapes for girls, trying to impress them, to meet them on a shared plane of aesthetics. Read them someone elses poetry because they do poetry better than you could do it, because youre too awkward to do it. – 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
