I remember Emilio [Estevez] and I were at John's house during the rehearsal process. And John [Huges] had mentioned he wrote the first draft of Breakfast Club in a weekend. And we both at the same time went, "First draft? How many do you have?" And John said he's got four other drafts. And we go, "Can we read them?" And for the next three hours, Emilio and I read those other four drafts.

I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.

Young alienation, disappointment and heartache is all a part of the first real growing up that we do.

Adam Sandler is a really funny guy in real life. Separate from all of the movies, that is a funny man.

I think that sometimes you don't have the opportunities for some of the most A-list-type movies, big-budget movies. But I think it's important to keep working and make the best of what's available. Because otherwise, what? Are you just going to get bitter and moan? What does my mom always say? "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.

Remember to be as smart as you are.
