John Cusack Biography

On himself:

“Nope, no sex scandals yet, but I’m open to offers!” [14 January 2004]

“Do I listen to pop music because I’m miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?”

“I was a teen star. That’s disgusting enough.”

On acting:

“Celebrity is the worst thing that can happen to an actor.”

“I don't wanna sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't wanna sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed, you know, as a career, I don't wanna do that...right now I just wanna be with your daughter, sir.”

"I have a healthy fear of [celebrity]. I'm not into the celebrity culture aspect of being an artist. To me it represents extinction. The more people know about you, the less they want to try to figure out what you have to say in your movies, and the less credibility you have. To me it seems: Go do your thing, then get out. That's the best way to do it."

Others:

“There are some good people but a good chunk of them will lie for no reason at all. It’ll be ten o’clock and they’ll tell you it’s nine. You’re looking at the clock and you can’t even fathom why they’re lying. They just lie because that’s what they do.”

“Partial Insomniac. Nice Person. Sometimes Brooding. ... Partially inspired. Nice Idea. Sometimes Boring.”
