[on 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.

[Spike Jonze wanted to borrow photographs from his childhood for Being John Malkovich (1999)] “I gave them my mother’s phone number and told them to tell her that I’m an actor and it was for a film. I don’t think my parents know what I do.”

“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.” (1980s quote)
