More quotes by John Malkovich
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
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
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.
John Malkovich
It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.
John Malkovich
I don't throw things or yell.
John Malkovich
I don't need to be liked.
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 was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid, but my father always told me - occasionally while striking me - that I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. And I think there's great truth in that.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
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.
John Malkovich
You have to play your characters, not like them.
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
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
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
When I have failed as an actor I've always thought it was my fault. But when I direct something, I wouldn't want the actors to think it was their fault.
John Malkovich
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.
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
