[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.

[St. Elmo's Fire] it was pretty soon after that. I know we didn't do Breakfast Club knowing we were going to do that.

You have to kind of roll with the punches. That's why I think work begets work to a certain degree. I just try and keep busy.

I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.

You have to be so confident and so gifted to fill five minutes of nothing at the very beginning of a play before even a word is uttered.

I wanted to meet Orson Welles. So I was like, whatever, somehow get me in on this. I'm able to get cast in it, but Orson Welles worked alone. He worked before all of us worked. He didn't want to work with anyone else.

I play a garbage man who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. Terrible.

It's a profession where merit is not necessarily rewarded.

I don't know if it matters what country you're from, size of the city you're from, urban or rural, there are people that are hurting each other everywhere.
