More quotes by John Malkovich
It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch.
John Malkovich
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
I don't throw things or yell.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
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 don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
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
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
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
John Malkovich
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.
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
Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
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 think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
John Malkovich
