When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.

[John] Hughes really wanted it to sound authentic. He was a real collaborator. He encouraged us to bring to the material things we thought were maybe more truthful.

I think that sometimes you don't have the opportunities for some of the most A-list-type movies, big-budget movies. But I think it's important to keep working and make the best of what's available.

Catcher in the Rye had a profound impact on me-the idea that we all have lots of dreams that are slowly being chipped away as we grow up.

Breakfast Club was great because we had a real rehearsal, and we shot primarily in sequence.

[John] Hughes was well aware that to ignore the seriousness of young people is to encourage things like Columbine, so you might want to listen. And we were all pretty serious, a little bit, in high school. Some a little more than others.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

John Hurt was incredible to work with.

You can do crap work in a big movie, and it does good things. You can do great work in a movie no one sees, it does nothing. That's the way it goes.

A fancy watch, it's completely unnecessary. I just need a watch to tell the right time.

With failure, you just try again.

[John] Hughes is a great loss, I think. He was the first filmmaker that could look at someone who was young without seeing them as being less.
