I wouldn't say Malkovich is totally insane, but he's not living in the real world. He's living in his world, which is a fine world to live in apparently.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
John Malkovich is such an interesting person and such a fun actor to work with.
On Being John Malkovich and the cinema of the absurd, I do enjoy it. I wish there were more like it. The very fact that there can't be more like it is one of the reasons it's admirable.
One of the great things that you should never do that I learned from John Malkovich is to never judge your characters.
Quentin Tarantino is controlled insanity, I would say. He's very loud and fun. I don't think there's anybody on the planet like him that I have ever met.
My view of actors is that basically they're all harmless lunatics who'd be on the psychiatrist's couch, except that we get this sort of catharsis every six months or so, and we go and be absolutely someone else.
He was a psychotic. He was a borderline psychotic. He was a terrific, sensational actor, with a magical screen presence, you couldn't keep your eyes off him, but he was paranoid. He was sure everybody was out to get him.
If you're an outsider looking into my life, you're thinking, 'That dude is crazy. He's literally crazy.'
As a comic and as an actor, I think you've got to be partially crazy.
What I love most about acting is being able to play different types of personalities without being considered crazy.
I think the life of an actor is very glamorous to other people - then, realities set in.
