More quotes by John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
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
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
John Malkovich
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
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 want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
John Malkovich
Things are so much global and Americanised.
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
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
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
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
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 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.
