More quotes by John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
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
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
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
I think with actors, if you just don't set about trying to crush their confidence immediately, you're usually OK.
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
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
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 not a control maniac.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
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
You have to play your characters, not like them.
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
I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.
John Malkovich
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
I never really did a western western.
John Malkovich
Well, I like to have fun at work.
John Malkovich
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
John Malkovich
