[on working with John Hughes during the production of Weird Science] John (Hughes) was a genius at comic relief, family situations, and geeks getting the girl. And it allows all of us humans who are insecure -and most of us are- to feel like a hero. That's the beauty of the fantasy of the film, it's that these boys who didn't stand a chance with the girls, actually get to be heroes and everyone loves to see the fallen person land on their feet.
