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.

More quotes by 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 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
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'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
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
Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him.
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
There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.
Kevin Bacon
If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.
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 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
I do better on the first three takes I won't be better at 20 takes.
Kevin Bacon
There's something therapeutic about nudity ... Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same.
Kevin Bacon
Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.
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
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
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
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.
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
When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song.
