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.

More quotes by John Malkovich
I don't mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
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 like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
John Malkovich
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
I'm more boring and more conservative.
John Malkovich
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.
John Malkovich
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
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'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
It's a little bit hard to have personal things subject to public scrutiny, and it's a pressure that other people aren't under, but then they're under a lot of pressures that we're not under.
John Malkovich
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
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'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
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.
