More quotes by 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
You have to keep the fights clean and the sex dirty.
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 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
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.
Kevin Bacon
Obviously, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.
Kevin Bacon
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
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 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
I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.
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
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
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.
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
When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.
Kevin Bacon
I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.
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
There's something therapeutic about nudity ... Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same.
Kevin Bacon
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.
Kevin Bacon
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
