"Do I listen to pop music because I’m miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?" ― John Cusack Topic(s): Music Tags: listen More From John Cusack "I was never into the popular school or clique or anything. Then I started doing movies when I was in high school, so then I got popular. Then the girls paid attention to you who didn’t before." "I remember the ’80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me, it was kind of a dark, depressing time." "Well, any time you do anything good, it’s man versus himself, right? That’s the art, the challenge." More In Music "The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false."― Fiona Apple "I’d love to do a modern-day musical that’s full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be."― Danny Boyle "I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I’ll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn’t wait for the day I’d be able to make music with my son. I don’t know what more I could ask for."― Eddie Van Halen
