Let Me Tell You About My Family.

I Was A Terrible Actor. But John Hughes Liked Me, And He Encouraged Me. I Made Him Laugh, I Guess Is The Bottom Line, And Then He Gave Me That Part In Ferris Bueller's Day Off As The Flower Man. It's Just A Nothing Part In One Sense, But It's Such An Iconic Movie That People Will Ask Me From Time To Time, "are You In Ferris Bueller's Day Off?" "yeah."

I'll Tell You How You Know When You're On Something Good: When Everybody Starts To Tear Up When They're Leaving, When They're Wrapping For The Season. You Know, When You Say, "all Right, We're Done With Mcgillicuddy. That's A Wrap For Mcgillicuddy!" And Everybody Applauds, But Everybody's Sad, Because Mcgillicuddy's Going To Be Gone! You Know, It's Like Family Going Off To College Or War. You Have This Intimate Relationship With These People, And Then - Bam! - They're Gone.

God And The Universe Said To Me One Day, "you're Only Going To Get What's Good For You." That's Kind Of How I Try To Look At Things. Isn't That True, When You Look Back At Things? "ooh, I'm Glad I Didn't Get That!" You Get More Philosophical When You Get Older, With The More Life Experiences You Have. But I Don't Have Any Bad Feelings Towards Anybody That Was Ever Involved In Any Of That Stuff, Because I Don't Think That People Usually Set Out To Hurt You. I Think That Hurt Is All Manufactured By Yourself And Your Expectations.

Weight Is A Glanduar Thing, As Well As An Emotional Thing.

I Think I'm A Better Actor Now. I Mean, I Really Think I Know A Lot About Acting Now. But I Didn't Know A Lot About Acting Then, In 80's, And I Never Knew How To Be Myself. I Never Knew How To Relax And Just Play It From Me. I Was Always Trying To Deliver A Line.
