I remember emilio [estevez] and i were at john's house during the rehearsal process. and john [huges] had mentioned he wrote the first draft of breakfast club in a weekend. and we both at the same time went, "first draft? how many do you have?" and john said he's got four other drafts. and we go, "can we read them?" and for the next three hours, emilio and i read those other four drafts.
You get the sense that [john] hughes is so right about the way groups divide and then divide again and then sometimes align and then sometimes break apart. and this idea that michael hall's character says, "on monday, are we going to be friends?" you know, based on this.
There were a few things that, in rehearsal, any one of us might try. [john] hughes would go, "i like that," to me spitting up in the air and catching it in my mouth. it was just something i did in a rehearsal and molly [ ringwald] went, "ewww." and john went, "can you do that again?" and i went all day long, and he was like, "okay, let's do that."
John hurt was incredible to work with.
It's like they talk about how american actors have the method and english actors just kind of switch views faster. and john [hurt] is telling me the story as he's sitting in that witness chair, and they're putting the final touches of makeup on. and he goes, "hold on a second," to stop his story so he can do the take. and he does this incredible take. they go, "cut." and then immediately john goes, "anyways, so alec, he's playing the chess." and i'm just going, "holy crap." you get whiplash from those kinds of quick turns!
[john hurt] just really gifted, and i had a great time working with him and [am] very lucky to have worked with him.
I went and saw him [ john hurt ] here in l.a.he did a one-man beckett show of krapp's last tape. i went back and saw him afterwards, and what an actor he is. he is so gifted.
You have to be so confident and so gifted to fill five minutes of nothing at the very beginning of a play before even a word is uttered.
I went to acting school with mario van peebles. for a little while, he was at the same school. so he asked me if i wanted to do [ new jack city]. he said, "there's not really a role. we'll figure something out. but would you like to?" and i was like, "sure." 'cause he said it was chris rock and ice t's first movie.
It's more like the inner workings of john bender. he feels like he's been given a short shrift, he's not been provided the opportunities that maybe these other kids have. so he feels like he begins in a hole. and instead of trying to raise himself up, he wants to bring all of them down. that's a dynamic that's pretty universal. and so that was the real foothold on that. it wasn't like, "oh, my high school experience is like john bender's [in st. elmo's fire]."
There was no one really like john bender at my high school.
As they were building that library in that school's gym [in the breakfast club], they built a rehearsal space for us. it was really an empty room taped out with the same dimensions of the library. and they had the tables all there. and he had us sitting at the same table. all of us.
