More quotes by John Malkovich
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
John Malkovich
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
John Malkovich
Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
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'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
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 don't mind what I play, really.
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 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
I don't throw things or yell.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
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
If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
