More quotes by John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
John Malkovich
Most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house by themselves.
John Malkovich
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
John Malkovich
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
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
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
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person. There are many popular films I absolutely love like anyone else. Having said that, I don't have time to go to the movies very much. I work a lot of different things, I'm always busy. But I'm always happy to see a popular movie.
John Malkovich
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
I don't remember my life before I had children.
John Malkovich
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
John Malkovich
Anybody doing something brings something to it. It's not for me to say if it's growth. Just by the nature of everyone has a different take on the material. Some people would.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
