More quotes by John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
John Malkovich
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
John Malkovich
When I have failed as an actor I've always thought it was my fault. But when I direct something, I wouldn't want the actors to think it was their fault.
John Malkovich
If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
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
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich

John Malkovich
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
John Malkovich
I still have a temper, I suppose.
John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
John Malkovich
I'm more boring and more conservative.
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
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
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
