More quotes by 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
Well, I like to have fun at work.
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 think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
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

John Malkovich
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
John Malkovich
It's a little bit hard to have personal things subject to public scrutiny, and it's a pressure that other people aren't under, but then they're under a lot of pressures that we're not under.
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 don't need to be liked.
John Malkovich
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
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
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
I still have a temper, I suppose.
John Malkovich
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
John Malkovich
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
