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.

More quotes by John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.
John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
John Malkovich

I don't remember my life before I had children.
John Malkovich
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.

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 like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich

John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
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
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
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 don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
I don't mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
