More quotes by John Cusack
Getting trapped back in the '80s, it's almost like a comic nightmare, which for me is a very real nightmare. Every time I flip through the cable, I have flashbacks.
John Cusack
Being on a movie set is like one long financial crisis.
John Cusack
The reason bin Laden staggered the planes going into the towers was so every camera would be focused on the second tower when the plane hit. It was not only the murder, but the perpetual image of the horror that permeated into people's consciousness.
John Cusack
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.

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.

I don't agonize over decisions as much these days. The criteria of what's important to me is clear. The insecurity that you feel, and the paranoia that you feel, have been around for a long time - you know it's a liar because it's been lying to you all along - every time you start something new.
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
I think poets tell better history than historians. Historians lie all the time but the poets can get to truth of it.
John Cusack
I've seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they're talking about.
John Cusack
Don't buy into the corporate mythology that's been rammed down our throats for all these years.
John Cusack
I'm not making any plans. I'm just going to let the universe surprise me.
John Cusack
I was a teen star. That's disgusting enough.
John Cusack
Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.
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
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 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
People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
John Cusack
My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
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
