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.

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.

Image
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
Image
I was never a fanatical movie person. There are many popular films I absolutely love like anyone else. Having said that, I don't have time to go to the movies very much. I work a lot of different things, I'm always busy. But I'm always happy to see a popular movie.

Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.

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.

Most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house by themselves.

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.

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?

You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.

I don't need to be liked.

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.

Well, I like to have fun at work.

And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.

I don't throw things or yell.

Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
