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 don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
John Malkovich
Image
I always wanted to be fashionable.

Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.

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.

Some directors expect you to do everything write, be producer, psychiatrist. Some just want you to die in a tragic accident during the shooting so they can get the insurance.

The theater is so disappointing, really, that it's hard to go again and again. It's just too heartbreaking. I'd rather watch football or play a game or read.
John Malkovich
Image
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.

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.

I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.

Image
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.

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.

You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.

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.

Chicago my favourite American city. I'm very much a typical midwesterner, and I don't think the condition is curable.

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.

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.

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.

There's a reason screens are only this thick.
