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
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
Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
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
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
The media can make anything true or untrue. So if you do 80 films and you play a bad guy ten times, then you're a bad guy, and then the media repeats that.
John Malkovich
I don't throw things or yell.
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
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
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
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'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
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
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
Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
I still have a temper, I suppose.
John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
