More quotes by John Malkovich
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
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 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 don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
John Malkovich
Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.
John Malkovich
Anybody doing something brings something to it. It's not for me to say if it's growth. Just by the nature of everyone has a different take on the material. Some people would.
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 never really did a western western.
John Malkovich
I'm more boring and more conservative.
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
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
John Malkovich
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.
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
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
John Malkovich
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
John Malkovich
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
John Malkovich
I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
John Malkovich
