Adam Sandler Is A Really

Breakfast Club Was Great Because We Had A Real Rehearsal, And We Shot Primarily In Sequence. I Thought That Was Going To Be How Movies Were Done. I Didn't Really Know How Lucky We All Were. We Had A Director That Liked Actors. I Didn't Know That Was Going To Be Rare.

John Hurt Was Incredible To Work With.

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. The Only Real Difference Was That Molly [ Ringwald] And Michael [hall] Still Had To Go To School. They Could Shoot, Like, A Half Day. So A Lot Of My Close Coverage Was Done With Molly's Stand-in, So Molly Could Do Her Schoolwork.

I Wanted To Meet Orson Welles. So I Was Like, Whatever, Somehow Get Me In On This. I'm Able To Get Cast In It, But Orson Welles Worked Alone. He Worked Before All Of Us Worked. He Didn't Want To Work With Anyone Else.

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]."
