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
I've been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.

As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive.

L.A. kind of scares me.
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 like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I want to see the numbers that prove that show-business marriages are any less successful than other marriages. It's just very public when they fail.

My dad was an architect, and he wasn't a rich guy, but in our little world in Philadelphia he was famous. He loved to see his picture in the paper. I wanted to be more famous than him.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

Image
I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.
Kevin Bacon
Image
Doing the press, it's part of my job, so I do it with a smile on my face, but I'm not comfortable in the hot seat.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
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
Some people have therapy, some people are alcoholics or they're in AA. Some people jump out of planes on weekends or find ways to release this kind of thing. And for me, it's acting. I find acting very therapeutic for whatever it is.
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 think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don’t believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it’s the end of our species.

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
Image
There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I try to show compassion to people I come into contact with and try to put good out, as much good as I can. But that's my life that's not my work. With my work, my job is to walk in another man's shoes.
