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.

More quotes by John Cusack
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.

In the future, there is no future.

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.

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
Satire is meant to have teeth satire is meant to be dangerous. But it also happens to be fun because subversion and telling the right kind of people to go to hell is supposed to feel good.
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
Being on a movie set is like one long financial crisis.
John Cusack
The movies have got more corporate, they're making fewer movies in general, and those they are making are all $200-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen.
John Cusack
I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies really twisted.
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
I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. I am my own entourage!
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
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
I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process.
John Cusack
I have a bit of a rebellious nature.
John Cusack
Hopefully as you get older you get more selfless. That would be probably a good goal. I don't know if we do, though.
John Cusack
Maybe the absence of signs is a sign.
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 try not to dwell on the past. I'm not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person.
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.
