I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.

You get the sense that [John] Hughes is so right about the way groups divide and then divide again and then sometimes align and then sometimes break apart. And this idea that Michael Hall's character says, "On Monday, are we going to be friends?" you know, based on this.

You have to be so confident and so gifted to fill five minutes of nothing at the very beginning of a play before even a word is uttered.

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

Though [John] Hughes did provide for us, if we wanted, to go to a local high school and try to blend in. Michael [Hall] and Molly [Ringwald ] already had school to go to with their tutors. Ally [Sheedy] wanted nothing to do with high school. She said, "I remember it fine. I don't want to go back." Which is great. So Emilio [Estevez] and I went. And Emilio lasted a couple hours because people recognized him from The Outsiders that had already been out, so his cover was blown.

You know who was wonderful to work with? Was Paul Gleason, may he rest in peace.

Alien's a great one. That's a scary movie.
