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.

More quotes by John Malkovich
I think probably when I was little, after my brother turned on me, I just had to play by myself or with myself. I've always done that. I think either it's some kind of weirdly competitive streak or it takes my mind off whatever's bothering me.
John Malkovich
I'm more boring and more conservative.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
Well, I like to have fun at work.
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
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
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

John Malkovich
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
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
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
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 never really did a western western.
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 still have a temper, I suppose.
John Malkovich
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
