More quotes by John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
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
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
I don't mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
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
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
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
Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.
John Malkovich
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
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
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
You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
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
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?
