I Am Very Grateful To Make My

It Was An Audition Process After Breakfast Club, And I Wasn't Really Sure I Wanted To Do The Movie. There Was A Bigger Role That Rob [lowe] Was Already Set To Play, So The Role They Wanted Me To Audition For Was Alec. [director] Joel Schumacher... This Is Back In The Days When You Could Trick Me With Things Like This. He Goes, "don't You Think You Can Play It?" And I Go, "okaaaaay." So Then I Did It For All The Wrong Reasons But I Don't Think I Would Fall For That Again. Who Knows. I Might.

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.

I Had To Audition For Fandango. When I Read The Script, The Role That Was Interesting - So Everyone Thought - Was The Role That Costner Played. He Was The Cool Guy. And I Read The Script, And My Representation At The Time Said, "that's The Role You Should Read For." And I Was Like, "really? How About I Read For This Other Role." And They Went, "well, You're Not Going To Get That Role."

We [ With Emilio Estevez] Asked If We Could Take Some Things [ In Breakfast Club] That Weren't In The Shooting Draft, But From Earlier Drafts, "can We Maybe Use This?" And Hughes Was Very Amenable To All That. And There Was Some Stuff That I Liked, And I Said, "how About This?" And He Went, "well, We'll Check With Molly [ringwald]. Those Scenes Are With Her. And If She Likes It, Fine." So It Was Just Wonderful. It Was Great.

I Would Go To Trials A Lot In Boston, As Best I Could. And It's Incredible That, Like, Lawyers That Had A Good Case Weren't Dramatic At All. Lawyers That Had A Horrible Case Would Sing And Dance And Do Whatever It Took To Convince The Jury Or The Judge That This Guy Was Innocent. So That Was A Cool Thing To See Because That Made Me Believe That What The Script [of From The Hip] Was Doing Was Totally Believable. Now, Maybe Not Ordinary. But It Could Happen.
