And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse.

More quotes by John Malkovich

Image
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
Image
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
Image
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
John Malkovich
Image
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
Image
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
John Malkovich
Image
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
Image
It's not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can't live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that the ghosts you chase you never catch.
John Malkovich
Image
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
Image
I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.
John Malkovich
Image
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
Image
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.
John Malkovich
Image
There's a reason screens are only this thick.
John Malkovich
Image
It's tough to figure out how do we compete in Europe and North America, when obviously a living wage for us is very different than a living wage in Indonesia.
John Malkovich
Image
I think probably when I was little, after my brother turned on me, I just had to play by myself or with myself. I've always done that. I think either it's some kind of weirdly competitive streak or it takes my mind off whatever's bothering me.
John Malkovich
Image
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
John Malkovich
Image
It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.
John Malkovich
Image
I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.
John Malkovich
Image
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
Image
I still have a temper, I suppose.

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.
