I worshiped Judd Nelson in 'The Breakfast Club' growing up. I must've seen that movie 100 times.

I think I was, like, 23 or something [on The Breakfast Club]. I was the oldest of the five. Emilio [Estevez] and Ally [Sheedy] were a year younger.

So a lot of my close coverage was done with Molly's stand-in, so Molly could do her schoolwork.

John Hughes had such a huge impact on filmmaking.

'Pretty In Pink' was a huge hit for me.

In the early '90s I was floating somewhere between the Brat Pack/Andrew McCarthy/James Spader/Pretty In Pink kind of stuff and the alterna-pop look, crossed with a very distinct grunge sensibility.

[St. Elmo's Fire] it was pretty soon after that. I know we didn't do Breakfast Club knowing we were going to do that.

Molly Ringwald, she's a natural talent. Every girl in this country related to that girl.
