More quotes by John Malkovich
Much of what you do as an actor - it's who's around you, what's the environment, where do you fit into this thing. That's really work that's impossible to do on your own, at least for me. I find it hard to pre-plan every element of everything I do. It's not my thing.
John Malkovich
I never wanted to be with someone who just hung around the house.
John Malkovich
I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.
John Malkovich
As an actor there are no drawbacks.
John Malkovich
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
John Malkovich
If you don't interfere with me, I'll always do something really good.
John Malkovich
Unlike my grandfather or my brother, I've actually been able to make some money at a racetrack.
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
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
My father was an exceptionally strong influence on me.
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
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
I'm more boring and more conservative.
John Malkovich
You have to do things people see or you don't get to do anything.
John Malkovich
I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
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
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
Even if you do succeed most people wouldn't notice anyway.
John Malkovich
I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.
John Malkovich
Scary monsters are like Hula Hoops. They come in and out of fashion.
