I'm surprised he wasn't even harsher with her.
I interviewed John Cusack way back during the junket for Serendipity, a movie I'm sure he wasn't thrilled about investigating the morale depths of, and I didn't want to come off as one of these idiot junket whores. So we dug into basketball and Michael Jordan's impending comeback - John's a Chicago Bulls fan.
Small tip: It actually helps to know something about the actor you're going to interview.
Wow. This is really bad. I've kind of heard that Cusack can be a prick, but this makes me think he may not be. You're right, he could have been a lot worse.

I had heard he was tough also... That's why I went the basketball/Michael Jordan route for my interview.
You can almost see the gears turning in his head as he thinks, "Nope... I'm not going to help her here. I'm going to let her hang herself as she just keeps asking stupid questions."
