ADD QUOTES
- John Malkovich: (Discussing the film "Being John Malkovich" (1999)) When I first looked at the script, the title seemed like a one-line joke, but it turned out to be a 100-page joke.

- John Malkovich: I want to be successful. I would like it to be a success with something that doesn't make me want to vomit all over the screening room after I've seen it.
  Edit Share Hide
- John Malkovich: (On "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988)) The movie should appeal to everyone. It's sleazy, elegant, vicious and mean, and it's about people doing hideous things to each other. If that weren't enough, it has a tragic end. What more could people ask for?
