(On the cult status of Office Space (1999)) It was like a lot of movies. You do the movie and then you walk away. It lasted maybe five weeks in theaters, if that. The first time I got a sense of it was probably a year later. I was doing a play in Chicago in the summer of 2000, because here [in L.A.], you don’t spend a lot of time on the street. You’re always driving. But in Chicago, I lived next door to the theatre, so I was always walking up and down this big boulevard in Chicago, Halsted Street, and going to restaurants and just down the street a lot. And people started coming up to me, doing Lumbergh’s dialogue. And this is a year and a half later, and I was really surprised, because I thought the movie was a flop. I didn’t know that it had gained an audience on video. And it happened consistently. I started going to restaurants and people would be like, “Hey Lumbergh!” I went to the ballpark at Wrigley Field, people were shouting out Lumbergh’s name. I thought, “My God, somebody’s actually watching this thing”.
