Andrew McCarthy's Quotes

  • I thought I understood the story very well, because I've lived with it for so long. But movies change and take on a life of their own once they start to be made, and you have to keep your eye on the real ball, not the ball that's in your head.
  • In doing everything, from coming up with the ideas and putting them on paper till doing the final edits, you are always thinking the next three steps, you're always thinking what next, what next, what next?
  • You always have to keep thinking: "Where am I going?" Whereas acting, you're always thinking: "What am I doing?" You don't want to know where you're going, you want to be right where you are.
  • (2011) I find I'm just a better version of myself when I travel. I feel my place in the world in a way that I understand more, I feel closer to my humanness, I like people better. I love to discover things. I never come back from a trip not feeling like I've grown at least a bit.
  • (2011) My trips aren't as long as they used to be. I won't leave my family for more then a week now, whereas I used to travel for a few months at a time when I was single. It's a different kind of travel now, but nothing I ever did alone can compare with seeing the joy of my son burying himself in the Sahara desert under a full moon, or my daughter touching the back of a stingray in Fakarava. Everyone in my family, myself included, is a much better version of themselves when we get far from home...I have to admit. I'm a solo traveler at heart.

Interesting Facts about Andrew McCarthy

  1. Started smoking during the filming of St. Elmo's Fire (1985) (his character smoked). Has since quit. He later appeared in John Parr's "St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)" music video.
  2. As soon as filming had finished for the movie Pretty in Pink (1986), he was signed on to play the lead in Less Than Zero (1987). As it happened, at the last moment, John Hughes (director of Pretty in Pink (1986)) decided he wanted to change the ending at the last minute (to what it currently is), but Andrew had already shaved his head for his next role. To solve this problem, Mr. Hughes had him don a wig for the last scene of Pretty in Pink (1986).
  3. Married his college sweetheart, Carol Schneider, 20 years after they first dated; the couple has a son, Sam McCarthy.
  4. Worked alongside fellow actor James Spader in three previous films: Pretty in Pink (1986), Mannequin (1987) and Less Than Zero (1987).
  5. When the ending to Pretty in Pink (1986) was re-shot, all of the principal actors had to be called back. McCarthy had already lost a substantial amount of weight and had shaved his head for a new role in a New York play called "The Boys of Winter." Although he wore an auburn wig, he is noticeably thinner in the reshot scenes.
  6. Was one of the nine original members of the 1980s "brat pack", along with Judd Nelson, Demi Moore, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy.
  7. Has a daughter, Willow (born 2006), with partner Dolores Rice.
