"I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process."

----- John Cusack

"I have a bit of a rebellious nature."

"I guess maybe I'm idealistic."

"The more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back."
