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.

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
Obviously, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.
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'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 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
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
I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.
Kevin Bacon
After so many years it's embarrassing to admit that I don't honestly know how much I want to be directed.
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
L.A. kind of scares me.
Kevin Bacon
I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
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'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
There's something therapeutic about nudity ... Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same.
Kevin Bacon
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.
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
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 do better on the first three takes I won't be better at 20 takes.
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
I've been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.
