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.

More quotes by 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
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.
John Malkovich
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
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
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
I grew tired of religion some time not long after birth. I believe in people, I believe in humans, I believe in a car, but I don't believe something I can't have absolutely no evidence of for millenniums. And it's funny, people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and they go to church.
John Malkovich
With acting it's your neck up there in the end. And if you think the director can't help you it's one thing. But if you feel they're reining you in when they need to be giving you some rope, or vice versa, then I just don't tolerate that.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.
John Malkovich
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
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 have a saviour or a royal family.
John Malkovich
I don't throw things or yell.
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 like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
John Malkovich
