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.

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.

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

Image
If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.
Kevin Bacon
Image
After so many years it's embarrassing to admit that I don't honestly know how much I want to be directed.

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.

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.

I'd always tried not to worry about the size of the role or the size of the film.

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.

I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.

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

Obviously, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.

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.

Even the people that support Bush aren't happy with the way things are going in Iraq.

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.

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.

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.

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.
