John Cusack and Diane Lane

The stars of Must Love Dogs reveal why they love online dating — and a few surprising facts they’d put into their own profiles.



You two star in the romantic comedy, Must Love Dogs, which follows you through online-dating adventures. Have you ever had any real-life experiences with online dating?

Cusack: I’m not really that much of an Internet person. I call my assistant all the time and say, “My computer’s down, can you have someone come fix it?" And she comes in and turns it on—that was the problem with it! So I’m not really that good with it, but I do the Google thing where you can Google your name and then find out what the press is saying about you. And I did check out some of those online dating things and some of those chat rooms. I was amazed at how intense that is.

Lane: I never got to try my hand at it. I think it would be a ball. I would be frightened if I were looking for a life-mate kind of thing, as my character in the movie is; it’s a little bit more daunting.



If you did try dating online, what would you put in your online profile?

Cusack: Boy, I could go so many different ways with that answer. What would I put? “Partial insomniac. I stay up late half of my life.” I would probably put something really funny and absurd. And then if someone approached me that was equally funny, then I know I would like them.



Ever had a bad date?

Cusack: Some of the time, you just know—you’re talking over dinner and then you realize that you’ve been talking a long time and the person is looking at you with the face of utter incomprehension and not laughing at your jokes. Then you realize that you still haven’t ordered yet. That’s not so pleasant. It’s hard to fathom someone, and everybody’s coming at it like, “It’s all rife with possibilities—is this going to be something great or not?" and sometimes the pressure is kinda insanely comic.



Got any dating advice?

Cusack: I don’t have any dating advice, except endurance is more important than truth. I don’t know what that means, but it sounded cool.


Contributing entertainment editor Susan L. Hornik’s online profile would definitely have to include “must love cats,” since she has five of them.
