“I went with him to Pretty In Pink four times so he could wallow in Molly's presence. The fourth time he turned to me at the end of the movie, grabbed my hand and told me he wanted to be just like Molly. Except I would have gone with Duckie, he told me. (Loaded)”

“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)”

“I pulled the blanket tighter, my cape of denial.”
