John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
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 mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
John Malkovich
Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
