More quotes by John Malkovich
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
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
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
John Malkovich
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
John Malkovich
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
John Malkovich
I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.
John Malkovich
When you do a really good play, the audience and the performers are looking into the same looking glass, the same microscope. And the specimen they are looking at is human life and that's why I do it, that's why I like it.
John Malkovich
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
John Malkovich
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
John Malkovich
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about 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 have probably four or five male friends who have a real strong masculine side but some degree of a feminine side, too. They're pretty rare, whereas I think women with a masculine side are much less rare.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
