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.

We Worked Six Days A Week [on The The Breakfast Club], So You Have One Day Off. So On That Saturday Night, It's Not Like We Could All Go Out And Have A Drink Because Molly [ringwald ] And Michael [hall] Weren't Old Enough. And Ally [sheedy] Pretty Much Kept To Herself.

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.

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.
