More quotes by John Malkovich
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
I'm not a control maniac.
John Malkovich
I don't need to be liked.
John Malkovich
My father was a very contradictory man. I mean, most environmentalists in America in the 1950s - of which there were hardly any - were not... paratroopers. But my father was in the 82nd Airborne, it was just like that.
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
Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.
John Malkovich
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
John Malkovich
People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
The theater is so disappointing, really, that it's hard to go again and again. It's just too heartbreaking. I'd rather watch football or play a game or read.
John Malkovich
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
John Malkovich
With acting it's your neck up there in the end. And if you think the director can't help you it's one thing. But if you feel they're reining you in when they need to be giving you some rope, or vice versa, then I just don't tolerate that.
John Malkovich
Some directors expect you to do everything write, be producer, psychiatrist. Some just want you to die in a tragic accident during the shooting so they can get the insurance.
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
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
The media can make anything true or untrue. So if you do 80 films and you play a bad guy ten times, then you're a bad guy, and then the media repeats that.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through 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.
