Jon: (Asked about working on Getting Personal[1998]) It is actually really fun. By the end of the last season we realized that we wanted to do a sex farce more than we wanted to do the workplace comedy thing. So we sort of turned it into this very randy, very adult show. And it's fun. It's really fun to do a show that I actually laugh at.
Jon Cryer: It's nice that people remember the character ["Duckie" from Pretty In Pink]. It's a little silly, but it's nice to know that you've done a character that people enjoy and remember, so it doesn't bother me.
Jon: (On his co-star Charlie Sheen) Our relationship happened the second we auditioned together. We didn’t even need to talk about it. It was right there and was very easy and very natural. We both had the same sensibility about things. It didn’t even feel like work.
Jon Cryer: (Asked whether he has looked for himself on the internet) I haven’t in a long time. But I’ve been known to. It’s nice to know what’s going on out there.
Jon Cryer: (On the possibility of a Speed Racer movie) Yeah, I’ve heard that. But I’ll believe it when I see it. You know I’ll be first on the list for that role.
Jon Cryer: (About whats involved with season 4 of Two and a Half Men)Besides hilarity? Obviously at the end of last season, things were left with a bit of a cliffhanger with Alan getting married and moving out of the house. And you can tell with that marriage that it’s bound to go well. (Laughs) I can’t imagine that marriage possibly falling apart quickly, being that he’s 40-plus and she’s 24 and dumb as a door. So as you can probably guess, things don’t go well in Alan’s marriage, and basically the first few episodes of this season are all about the fallout from that. If you think Alan’s going to be out of the house, you’re wrong.
Jon Cryer: (Changes he would make to his character on Two and a Half Men, Alan)I’d make him a better dresser. That’s not our costume designers fault -- she could dress me fantastically. But that’s not Alan. But that’s fine. I think my natural model good looks carry me.
Jon Cryer: (About Two and a Half Men's rise in popularity in the younger demographic) We had this weird migration all of a sudden in season three, when all the parents told their kids, “Hey, you know what’s a good show?”
Jon Cryer: (If he could play any character) Wow. Probably Speed Racer, because let’s face it, the Mach 5 was awesome.
Jon Cryer: (His favourite moment on Two and a Half Men) My nervous breakdown last season, when I was bemoaning the fact that I’ll never have time to read all the great books I wanted to read. I was having a freak out. And Charlie said “Well, if you put a few by the toilet and read one every couple of weeks you’ll knock a bunch off.” And I said, “There’s not enough bowel movements left.”
