More quotes by John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
It seems whenever I've had a method or what I perceived to be an intellectual groundwork of some sort - a kind of game plan - it's always been the most morbid failure.
John Malkovich
Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.
John Malkovich
Actors generally get to do things you probably shouldn't do in real life - well, at least as much as one might like to or be tempted to. Though I suppose a lot of actors just go ahead and do it, don't they?
John Malkovich
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
John Malkovich
I don't mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid, but my father always told me - occasionally while striking me - that I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. And I think there's great truth in that.
John Malkovich
I'm not a control maniac.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
John Malkovich
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
