More quotes by John Malkovich
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?
John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
I think probably when I was little, after my brother turned on me, I just had to play by myself or with myself. I've always done that. I think either it's some kind of weirdly competitive streak or it takes my mind off whatever's bothering me.
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
I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.
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
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
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
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
I'm not a control maniac.
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
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 understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
