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
It never occurred to me to be an actor.
John Malkovich
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
John Malkovich
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
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
I never really did a western western.
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
Things are so much global and Americanised.
John Malkovich
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
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
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
John Malkovich
I don't think my parents know what I do.
John Malkovich
I'm a little bit of a fabric lunatic.
John Malkovich
You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't mean you can design one.
John Malkovich
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
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
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
I'm not a control maniac.
John Malkovich
I think people seem to sort of associate me with danger. And I don't see that at all.
John Malkovich
I always wanted to be fashionable.
John Malkovich
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
