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
When you see a culture where the intellectual architects of the invasion are not shamed for their behavior but rewarded within the mainstream media culture, black comedy, satire, absurdism is the only response.
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 think it's very improtant and healthy to tell differnt stories than the corporatist narratives we are being asked to swallow hook, line and sinker.
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
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.
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
Probably Lloyd in 'Say Anything' is the closest to me - or to who I was at the time. It was just a great love story about people in the '80s, and we all tried to make it feel as real as possible. It was such a wonderful time. We didn't leave anything in the gym we put it all out there.
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
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
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 you're looking at things with the right set of eyes, people are endlessly fascinating. And then, of course, if you look at it the wrong way, then the whole world is horrible and tedious and boring. That's the battle, really--to keep looking at the world in the right way.
John Cusack
The elderly have so much to offer. They're our link with history.
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
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
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
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
All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one.
John Cusack
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
Justice always has context.
