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
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
John Malkovich
It seems whenever I've had a method or what I perceived to be an intellectual groundwork of some sort - a kind of game plan - it's always been the most morbid failure.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
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
Utopia means elsewhere.
John Malkovich
The theater is so disappointing, really, that it's hard to go again and again. It's just too heartbreaking. I'd rather watch football or play a game or read.
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 mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
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
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
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
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
I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression.
John Malkovich
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
