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.

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

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.

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
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.
Kevin Bacon
Image
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
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.

L.A. kind of scares me.

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

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
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.

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.
