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.

More quotes by John Malkovich
I can see how, given a certain degree of sensitivities, proclivities and rage, I could have ended up differently.
John Malkovich
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
I mean, anything that money can be made off will never be a problem to make, no matter what it is.
John Malkovich
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
I never really did a western western.
John Malkovich
You have to play your characters, not like them.
John Malkovich
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
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
I'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.
John Malkovich
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
John Malkovich
I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.
John Malkovich
I don't lose my temper very often now, and if I do, it's well deserved.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
John Malkovich
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
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.
John Malkovich
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.
John Malkovich
I still have a temper, I suppose.
John Malkovich
