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.

From John Malkovich

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.

From John Malkovich

I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things.

From John Malkovich

From John Malkovich

From John Malkovich

From John Malkovich

I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.

From 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.

From John Malkovich

Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
