More quotes by John Malkovich
Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.
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
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
John Malkovich
There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.
John Malkovich
I have probably four or five male friends who have a real strong masculine side but some degree of a feminine side, too. They're pretty rare, whereas I think women with a masculine side are much less rare.
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
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
I don't remember my life before I had children.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
When I have failed as an actor I've always thought it was my fault. But when I direct something, I wouldn't want the actors to think it was their fault.
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 understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.
John Malkovich
If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.
John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
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
I don't mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
