More quotes by John Malkovich
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
John Malkovich
And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.
John Malkovich
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
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
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

John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
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
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
John Malkovich
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
John Malkovich
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
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.
