Famous quotes by John Hughes:
"I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had!"
"My heroes were Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on."
"Ooh, Canada, exotic."
"Most of my characters are romantic rather than sexual. I think that's an essential difference in my pictures. I think they are more accurate in portraying young people as romantic - as wanting a relationship, an understanding with a member of the opposite sex more than just physical sex."
"At the time I came along, Hollywood's idea of teen movies meant there had to be a lot of nudity, usually involving boys in pursuit of sex, and pretty gross overall. Either that or a horror movie. And the last thing Hollywood wanted in their teen movies was teenagers!"
"The young actors get hit harder because of their age. Because Rat Pack - which Brat Pack is clearly a parody of - was not negative. Brat Pack is. It suggests unruly, arrogant young people, and that description isn't true of these people."
"I like young actors because they're so unspoiled, not like some of those actors who are about half an hour into their fifteen minutes of fame by the time they get to me."
"I was really amused when someone once called me a purveyor of horny sex comedies. He listed Breakfast Club and Mr. Mom in parentheses."
"I admire people like Judd Nelson, who have an innate sense of fashion. Judd could wear a bathrobe and sanitarium sandals and a fedora and look good."
"You know those sexy pinup posters people put up in their bedrooms? I always saw them as being kind of silly and vacant."
"When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that they obviously like and then they dance the whole time."

Two To Tango
by: John HughesShe Whispers in my ear
Can I get you a cold beer
While all that wildlife is covered with oil
Strumming my six string
Trying not to sing
About those shrimp, beginning to spoil
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim that it’s Big Oil to blame
But I know, it takes two to tango
Well, I know the reason
I go there in season
It’s not to watch an oil well blow
But the gulf is a beauty
So let’s do our duty
How it got there, I’ll never know
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim it’s politicians to blame
But I know, it takes two to tango
I slipped on a tar ball
On the beach after nightfall
So I got on a plane and flew on back home
But there’s fuel in my big truck
Cause just like you, I suck
We love our petroleum, it helps us move on
Here we go again destroying our mother earth
Hunting down her last buffalo
Some people claim that there’s somebody to blame
