John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
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
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.

John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
John Malkovich

John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
When you do a really good play, the audience and the performers are looking into the same looking glass, the same microscope. And the specimen they are looking at is human life and that's why I do it, that's why I like it.
John Malkovich
I don't remember my life before I had children.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
I'm more boring and more conservative.
John Malkovich
