With failure, you just try again.

When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.

I was trained by Stella Adler for theater so you kind of give it all on every take.

I think I was, like, 23 or something [on The Breakfast Club]. I was the oldest of the five. Emilio [Estevez] and Ally [Sheedy] were a year younger. The only real difference was that Molly [ Ringwald] and Michael [Hall] still had to go to school. They could shoot, like, a half day. So a lot of my close coverage was done with Molly's stand-in, so Molly could do her schoolwork.

Paul Gleason he was a great guy. I loved working with him.

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

Breakfast Club was great because we had a real rehearsal, and we shot primarily in sequence.
