I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
John Malkovich -
I know for a fact that a lot of actors are desperate and unhappy if their careers are not progressing at what they think is the correct rate. They just go crazy if they're not working. I don't feel I'd be that way. You can always get a few people together and put on a play. Maybe not in New York or L.A., but in a lot of other towns, you can.

I lost seventy pounds eating nothing but Jello for 4 months. But of course there is great variety in the colors! I think, if I remember correctly, it's 230 calories for a whole bowl. Maybe 270? In the 5th month, I added fruit.
John Malkovich -
We're all animals.
John Malkovich -
I'm not a Method actor. I don't believe acting should be psychodrama. I look within myself and see what I can find to play the role with. If I'm playing a blind man, I don't go around blindfolded for days. A lot of good actors would, but I don't go in for that very much. I like to just make it up as I go along.
John Malkovich -
I don't mind tracksuits. At the track.
John Malkovich -
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
John Malkovich -
I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.

Most filmmakers' entire body of knowledge is of other movies. When they describe things, they describe them in relation to other movies. That's why we have so many cyclical movies that look like other movies. But I'm not cynical. I even go to some of those movies.
John Malkovich -
A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.
John Malkovich -
I grew up in the Midwest, quite far from any ocean or any beach, a million miles. I think for kids who grew up where I did, the idea of California, surfing and beach life was so exotic and glamorous.
John Malkovich -
I'm a little bit phobic about stains on my clothes, so I never travel without a little packet of organic stain remover.
John Malkovich -
I'm an atheist.
John Malkovich -
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.

In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich -
I just start with a pencil and paper. I don't want something too trendy, too fashion-forward. I don't want to make something I consider a regular person couldn't wear with blue jeans. But I don't want to make something that other people make, either - like a skinny black suit in a shiny material that you can buy anywhere.
John Malkovich -
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich -
My father was a very contradictory man.
John Malkovich -
Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater, but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights, and maybe pitfalls too.
John Malkovich -
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
John Malkovich
-
The world is ruled by violence, or at least the imminent threat of violence. It always has been.
John Malkovich -
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich -
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich -
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
