More quotes by John Cusack
I remember once acting really cool on a bus with this girl named Stephanie. When I got home, I realized that I had a really big zit on my forehead. If you have acne problems, you really shouldn't be acting like Don Juan.

It never hurts to be involved in any political or activist organization. I can never see how participation would be a bad thing. The key is being true to what you participate with and who.
John Cusack
I just love the process of working with other actors. It's like jamming with a musician, except it takes a little more effort to get to that place as an actor, because you have the cameras and lights and everything. But I love jamming with these people.
John Cusack
The situation in the film is like me going out to Venice Beach and talking to a homeless guy on the boardwalk, and 13 years later he's the president.

These people say free markets are the way to go, but wink, wink, the markets aren't really free. They're just a protectionist racket, and we have to pay for it all on every level. It's really quite extraordinary, and immoral, and illegal. These things need to be named, and shamed, and outed, and mocked, and prosecuted.
John Cusack
Not only is America a country where torture is now policy. It's now outsourced. It's given to companies at a cost-plus basis. It's a triple whammy of surreal, absolute madness.
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
My job is to just express something that I want to express. And if I'm ahead or behind the curve, that's for others to decide.
John Cusack
If you help manufacture an enemy that's really evil, you can point to the fact that it's really evil, and say, Hey, it's really evil.
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 was a teen star. That's disgusting enough.
John Cusack
I wanted to just be a filmmaker, and I thought I wanted to do all the aspects, and it seemed like as a producer was the best way to do it, because I could have... You never have control on a movie, but you have as much control as you can. You can push it through, and you can hire the right people.
John Cusack
I always liked it when people go back in time to discover things about themselves, like with 'A Christmas Carol' and you're getting a tour of your life by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
John Cusack
I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that.
John Cusack
The people who say they're for democracy want nothing to do with democracy.
John Cusack
I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear.
John Cusack
I have a bit of a rebellious nature.
John Cusack
But no, I don't really like romantic comedies, so I don't really care. I never go see 'em.
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.
John Cusack
People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
