More quotes by John Cusack
It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.

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
People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.

I was raised Irish Catholic, but I don't consider myself Irish Catholic: I consider myself me, an American.

I have a bit of a rebellious nature.
John Cusack
I feel like I'm a filmmaker I don't feel I need to yell 'action' and 'cut.'

I grew up in Evanston and lived in Chicago for a long time, in Old Town and Wrigleyville. I did three films when I was in high school. The first was 'Class,' with Rob Lowe. I had a supporting role in that.

John Cusack
Of course, I think it is legitimate for the Commander-in-Chief to be concerned for the safety of his soldiers.
John Cusack
I think everything has some politics to it. It's just whether or not it admits to it. Politics is weird. I don't even know what that means any more.
John Cusack
A lot of powerful people in Washington may think it's a crazy-leftist-fringe position to think the intellectual authors of a torture regime should be investigated and prosecuted.
John Cusack
I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. I am my own entourage!
John Cusack
I think that taking night trains or meeting someone on the road is pretty romantic. I've done a couple of things like that. I've surprised someone in Paris. And hopefully, when you surprise someone, they're happy to see you.
John Cusack
A lot of people are not meant to be together.
John Cusack
It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God, look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too, but for me, they're, like, entire movies. And they show them on cable.

My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player before anyone. So he got Mel Brooks movies or Citizen Kane or some classic old movies. And every summer the revival house in Evanston would show the great films from the '50s and '60s and '70s.
