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.

More quotes by John Malkovich
My father was a very contradictory man. I mean, most environmentalists in America in the 1950s - of which there were hardly any - were not... paratroopers. But my father was in the 82nd Airborne, it was just like that.
John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
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 don't need to be liked.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
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
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
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
I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.
John Malkovich
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
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
I never really did a western western.
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
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
