"Some directors expect you to do everything; write, be producer, psychiatrist. Some just want you to die in a tragic accident during the shooting so they can get the insurance"

About this Quote

In this quote, actor John Malkovich is expressing his aggravation with certain directors in the movie industry. He suggests that some directors have impractical expectations of their actors, anticipating them to not just carry out on screen but also take on extra roles such as writing and producing. This can be frustrating and taxing for actors who are currently trying to best their performance. On the other hand, Malkovich likewise suggests that there are directors who are more worried about the monetary element of filmmaking, as they would rather have their stars pass away in a terrible accident throughout filming so they can gather insurance cash. This quote sheds light on the requiring and in some cases fierce nature of the movie industry.
