More quotes by 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
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
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
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
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
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
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
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
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
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
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
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
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 like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
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
