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
When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it. – John Cusack
I force people to have coffee with me, just because I dont trust that a friendship can be maintained without any other senses besides a computer or cellphone screen. – John Cusack
