You have to keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.

I'll be honest with you. My kids don't watch my movies and never have. I can maybe name a film one hand that they've seen, actually, all the way through.
Kevin Bacon
Image
You have to have something in your life that's more important than the work. People don't really like to admit that. I think that you have to find something else. I don't know what it is. Is it yoga or God or politics? For me it's just family.

I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money's sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it's just about a number. It's never been anything I understood.
Kevin Bacon
Image
Obviously, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.

If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.

The hardest gig there is in entertainment is to be the lead in an hour show, especially if it's a show that's blood and guts and fighting. It's rough. I love to work, but to do something different is really exciting.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.
Kevin Bacon

Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I don't read reviews. I haven't read them for probably 30 years. I can't. When they're bad, they're really rough, and when they're good, they're not good enough. You can always find something to stress over.
Kevin Bacon

After so many years it's embarrassing to admit that I don't honestly know how much I want to be directed.
Kevin Bacon
Image
Even the people that support Bush aren't happy with the way things are going in Iraq.
Kevin Bacon
Image
There's something therapeutic about nudity. Clothing is one of the external things about a character. Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same. But not when the nanny is around. But I will with my wife and kids.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I'm very comfortable being married to an extremely strong, opinionated, and driven woman. But I also sit at the head of the table. I have both of those sides to me.

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

I think of being an actor as kind of a young man's gig. It's emasculating, in a way, people messing with you and putting make-up on you and telling you when to wake up and when to go to sleep, holding your hand to cross the street. I can do it up to a certain point, and then I start to feel like a puppet.
