More quotes by John Malkovich
I don't remember my life before I had children.
John Malkovich
My father was a very contradictory man. I mean, most environmentalists in America in the 1950s - of which there were hardly any - were not... paratroopers. But my father was in the 82nd Airborne, it was just like that.
John Malkovich
I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
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
Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.
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 was never a fanatical movie person. There are many popular films I absolutely love like anyone else. Having said that, I don't have time to go to the movies very much. I work a lot of different things, I'm always busy. But I'm always happy to see a popular movie.
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
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
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
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
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
John Malkovich
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
John Malkovich
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
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 don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
John Malkovich
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
John Malkovich
