You Know Who Was Wonderful To Work

I Had To Audition For Fandango. When I Read The Script, The Role That Was Interesting - So Everyone Thought - Was The Role That Costner Played. He Was The Cool Guy. And I Read The Script, And My Representation At The Time Said, "that's The Role You Should Read For." And I Was Like, "really? How About I Read For This Other Role." And They Went, "well, You're Not Going To Get That Role."

Part Of The Reason I Thought That I Might Do A Series Is, My Dad Has Pretty Much Been On The Same Road To Work For Years And Years. And It's Like, "could I Do Something Like That? Am I So Independent That I Can't Punch The Clock At The Same Place?" So Part Of It Was A Kind Of Exercise. "can I Be Responsible In This Way?" And Lo And Behold, I Could. Luckily. It'd Be Bad If I Couldn't.

We Worked Six Days A Week [on The The Breakfast Club], So You Have One Day Off. So On That Saturday Night, It's Not Like We Could All Go Out And Have A Drink Because Molly [ringwald ] And Michael [hall] Weren't Old Enough. And Ally [sheedy] Pretty Much Kept To Herself. So Emilio And I, Every Saturday Night, Would Go Into Chicago Because We Were Shooting Outside Of Chicago In Des Plaines. It's So Funny, Because Even Though We Might Be Adversaries In The Film, We Certainly Weren't Off-camera. He's A Very Funny Guy.

I Would Go To Trials A Lot In Boston, As Best I Could. And It's Incredible That, Like, Lawyers That Had A Good Case Weren't Dramatic At All. Lawyers That Had A Horrible Case Would Sing And Dance And Do Whatever It Took To Convince The Jury Or The Judge That This Guy Was Innocent. So That Was A Cool Thing To See Because That Made Me Believe That What The Script [of From The Hip] Was Doing Was Totally Believable. Now, Maybe Not Ordinary. But It Could Happen.

I Took All The Philosophy Courses I Could.
