More quotes by John Malkovich

John Malkovich
The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.
John Malkovich

John Malkovich
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
John Malkovich
Utopia means elsewhere.
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
I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
John Malkovich
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
