More quotes by John Malkovich
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
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've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
It's tough to figure out how do we compete in Europe and North America, when obviously a living wage for us is very different than a living wage in Indonesia.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.

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

John Malkovich
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
John Malkovich
I'm more boring and more conservative.
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
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
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
Things are so much global and Americanised.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
