Quote

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.

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

Obviously, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.
Kevin Bacon
Image
I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

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.

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.

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.

I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.

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.

When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.
Kevin Bacon
Image
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.

Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.
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.
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
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.

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

Clint Eastwood has always been a hero.

I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
