More quotes by 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 mind what I play, really.
John Malkovich
I'd hate to see any film I'm involved in fail, especially artistically but also business-wise.
John Malkovich
I don't really go through a process, it goes through me.
John Malkovich
It's a little bit hard to have personal things subject to public scrutiny, and it's a pressure that other people aren't under, but then they're under a lot of pressures that we're not under.
John Malkovich
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
John Malkovich
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.
John Malkovich
I go around the world, working with all kinds of people who I love.
John Malkovich
I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.
John Malkovich
I'm not a control maniac.
John Malkovich

John Malkovich
I was never a fanatical movie person.
John Malkovich
Of course it's trivial, but then most things are.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
John Malkovich
People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.
John Malkovich
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
I haven't physically attacked anyone in a couple of years.
John Malkovich
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
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
It seems whenever I've had a method or what I perceived to be an intellectual groundwork of some sort - a kind of game plan - it's always been the most morbid failure.
John Malkovich
