As An Actor, The Minute You Start

I Was The Only White Kid In My Neighborhood For Most Of My Youth Even In High School, So Reverse Racism Was Just As Apparent As Racism.

I've Never Been Able To Learn From Other People's Mistakes - I'm Not That Smart - So I Usually Learn By Trial By Fire.

I Like The Dark, Mysterious, Maybe Even Gothic Type Girls. They Have To Have A Good Personality Too! I'm Very Picky!

I'm Still In The Middle Of The Transition. I'm Still In Man-boy Mode. And That Won't Go Away For A While. But It's A Fun Time To Be In, Because It's Very Rare That People Get To Work Through This Time. It's Rare To See A John Cusack In Say Anything. It's Rare That You'd Find An Actor Right In The Cusp Of The Child-to Adult Transition, Just Got Through Puberty, Just Getting Into A Different Way Of Life. There's Few Movies Like That, And Few Roles Like That, So It's Going To Be Tough To Pick And Choose. I Guess The Goal Is Good People, Work With Good People.

There's A Form Of Selling Out. It's Necessary. You Have To Become Edible For People In Texas. You Have To Become Edible For The Christian Right, For Mass Audiences.
