It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don't know what it's like any more to be anonymous.

More quotes by Kevin Bacon
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
I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.
Kevin Bacon
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
A lot of people believe in reading reviews. If I get too focused on some detail of what they've said about me, I'm going to end up shooting myself in the foot.
Kevin Bacon
Even the people that support Bush aren't happy with the way things are going in Iraq.
Kevin Bacon
When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.
Kevin Bacon
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
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
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.
Kevin Bacon
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
I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.
Kevin Bacon
I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings.
Kevin Bacon
Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.
Kevin Bacon
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.
Kevin Bacon
I don't really worry so much about image. I try to just live my own life, my personal life, to my own sense of morality. In terms of the kinds of characters that I play, well, they could be anything.
Kevin Bacon
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.
Kevin Bacon
I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.
Kevin Bacon
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.
Kevin Bacon
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
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.
Kevin Bacon
