More quotes by 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
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
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
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
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
I don't think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
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
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
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
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
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 don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
John Malkovich
You know, I'm really not interested in someone telling me that something's good or bad.
John Malkovich
