More quotes by 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
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
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
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
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
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
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
John Malkovich
I never really did a western western.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
John Malkovich
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
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
It's tough to figure out how do we compete in Europe and North America, when obviously a living wage for us is very different than a living wage in Indonesia.
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
Utopia means elsewhere.
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
