We've got to force the Democrats to get a spine. If they don't want to have a spine, we should throw them out. If they don't want to stand up for the rule of law, then I'm not a Democrat.

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 force people to have coffee with me, just because I don't trust that a friendship can be maintained without any other senses besides a computer or cellphone screen.
John Cusack
I think that Poe is so resonant because he represents that part of us that is in misery or sorrowful or wants to explore the darkness. He wrote a great story called 'The Imp of the Perverse' about the instinct towards self-destruction. Poe is the godfather of Goth literature and that whole movement.
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
The people who say they're for democracy want nothing to do with democracy.
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
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
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
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
I have a bit of a rebellious nature.
John Cusack
I feel like I'm a filmmaker I don't feel I need to yell 'action' and 'cut.'
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
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
New York's like a boxing match. In Hollywood, it's like a Fellini movie or something.
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
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.
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
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
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
All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one.
