Almost anything makes me laugh, especially jokes at my own expense. And I will never, ever admit to being ticklish anywhere.

It's great to work with people that you like, any job, no matter what you do.

A fancy watch, it's completely unnecessary. I just need a watch to tell the right time.

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.

We tried the first evening to go down Division Street and Rush Street, but we couldn't get in anywhere because they didn't like [ Emilio Estevez] sneakers and they didn't like my boots. This was 1983 or '84, so it was ridiculous. We ended up at a jazz club, where you go downstairs and there's a very cool place.

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

I took all the philosophy courses I could.
