“In Say Anything he falls in love with this rich girl, who is avoiding him, and at dawn he stands outside her house, in a raincoat, holding a ghetto blaster high above his head. He's playing In Your Eyes, the Peter Gabriel song, to get her attention. One day I'd like to meet someone I felt so strongly about that I would get up at dawn to play them a love song. Not to worry about what the neighbours said, what his parents will say. I can't sing so it will be my own form of serenade. Then not only will I look like John Cusack, I'll be like John Cusack.

Jesus, I'd love to serenade John Cusack. (Loaded)”
