More quotes by 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 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
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
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
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
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
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
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.
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
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
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
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
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
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.
John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
