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
I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies really twisted.
John Cusack
I'm not making any plans. I'm just going to let the universe surprise me.
John Cusack
I have a bit of a rebellious nature.
John Cusack
Acting can be pretty challenging. I can't say making a romantic comedy is challenging, but to do anything well, you have to put yourself into it.
John Cusack
Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.
John Cusack
Once you have opened up prisoner interrogation, wiretapping, border patrol, jailing and the services of the military, when this has been turned into a for-profit business in this endless war, then we're in deep trouble.
John Cusack
These guys who talk about free markets, they're not ideologues they're crooks.

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
It's 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 else's poetry because they do poetry better than you could do it, because you're too awkward to do it.
John Cusack
Sometimes you meet people and you feel like you've known them for a long time.
John Cusack
Get your sense of outrage back, and your sense of defiance and spirit back, and try to put these pieces together and confront the excesses of empire at every turn.
John Cusack
I feel close to Lloyd in 'Say Anything'. He was like a super-interesting version of me. Only I'm not as good as him. Whatever part of me is romantic and optimistic, I reached into that to play Lloyd.
John Cusack
If I'm in something that I think is kinda good, it stays with me like a fever dream for a long time afterwards. I don't recall the finished product so much as the feeling of making it.
John Cusack
I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. I am my own entourage!
John Cusack
I kept saying that I'd never live in L.A., and I didn't think I would. But that's where the work is, and I ended up making a lot of friends there, and my old friends moved out to Los Angeles too. And also, I think when you're famous, its hard to live in a small town.
John Cusack
Hollywood is just a bunch of people going around in Learjets to other people asking them if they've got any money? Well, they might have if they didn't spend it all on jets.
John Cusack
I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me, it was kind of a dark, depressing time.
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.
