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 have a saviour or a royal family.
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
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
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
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.
John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
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
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
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
I don't need to be liked.
John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
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.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
