John Cusack's quotes

  • I was a teen star. That's disgusting enough.
  • Nope, no sex scandals yet. But I am open to offers! (January 14, 2004)
  • I won't call myself a child actor because that sounds psychotic.
  • [2007] I've made 10 good films. The ones that suck I tend to blank out. It's like I never even made them. Well, there aren't 40 that are great, put it that way. But that's fine. Ten is a good batting average.
  • [on actors being 'tortured' people] I probably believed in it a bit when I was younger. Actors are weird enough as it is. We don't need to act tortured. I'm probably tortured enough.
  • The movies have got more corporate. They're making fewer movies in general, and those they are making are all $200m-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen.
  • [at the Maine political delegation breakfast on July 26, 2004, seeing Al Franken in the audience] I'm not going to try and be funny. (Franken replied, "I'm not going to try and act.")
  • L.A. is a town full of so many desert crazies, snake-oil salesmen, carnival barkers and fake spiritualists that it's impossible to spot a real one.
  • [on why he only made a cameo appearance in Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015)] They decided the problem was me, I guess.
  • [on whether or not there would be a sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2015)] Not with me! I produced the first one and oversaw the writing, and with the second one they just wanted a lower-rent one.
