My First Love Is Acting On Stage.

There Was No One Really Like John Bender At My High School.

It Was An Audition Process After Breakfast Club, And I Wasn't Really Sure I Wanted To Do The Movie. There Was A Bigger Role That Rob [lowe] Was Already Set To Play, So The Role They Wanted Me To Audition For Was Alec. [director] Joel Schumacher... This Is Back In The Days When You Could Trick Me With Things Like This. He Goes, "don't You Think You Can Play It?" And I Go, "okaaaaay." So Then I Did It For All The Wrong Reasons But I Don't Think I Would Fall For That Again. Who Knows. I Might.

I Worked With The Late Leonard Frey. I Did A Play, And I Would Have These Ideas And He Would Say, "i Don't Know. Try It." And I Would Try It And It Would Be Awful, And He Would Go, "what Do You Think?" And I Would Go, "it Was Awful." And He Goes, "okay, We'll Try Something Else." And That's Great Because It Really Makes You Feel Less Working-for And More Working-with. There's Nothing Better Than To Feel A Part Of The Team.

I Put Less Stock In Others' Opinions Than My Own. No One Else's Opinions Could Derail Me.

I Still Think Brooke Shields Is Aces. She's Really Smart, Interesting, Doesn't Feel That Her Time Is More Valuable Than Anyone Else's. Really Hardworking. And I Knew That If She Was The Star Of The Show, It's Going To Be A Good Experience. And It Was.
