More quotes by John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
John Malkovich
I don't mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
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
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
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
I don't have a saviour or a royal family.
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
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 go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
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
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
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 need to be liked.
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
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
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
