John Malkovich Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

To a certain extent in Hollywood you’re a product, and your product is whatever sells the most, and whatever sells the most is whatever the public likes to see you do - if anything Picture Quote #1

I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you’re struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes Picture Quote #1

If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that - the ghosts you chase you never catch Picture Quote #1

I love Chicago, but in a lot of ways it’s a disappointment. You can work there for years and years, and because you’re in Chicago, you don’t get the recognition. It has some of the best theater in the country, but when they shoot a movie there, they bring in all their actors Picture Quote #1

Fashion is chaotic, and it can be an aggravation, too, but it is at its best when it allows you to express yourself Picture Quote #1

It seems whenever I’ve had a method or what I perceived to be an intellectual groundwork of some sort - a kind of game plan - it’s always been the most morbid failure Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have driven school buses, sold egg rolls and painted houses, and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn’t gone into acting. Mind you, it’s a great life, going around pretending you’re other people and getting paid ridiculous sums of money for it Picture Quote #1

The ghosts you chase you never catch Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My life before children I don’t really remember. I’ve heard references to it, but I really don’t remember Picture Quote #1
