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 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.

If you're an actor, even a successful one, you're still waiting for the phone to ring.
Kevin Bacon
There's something therapeutic about nudity ... Take away the Gucci or Levi's and we're all the same.
Kevin Bacon
I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.
Kevin Bacon
I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
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
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
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
After so many years it's embarrassing to admit that I don't honestly know how much I want to be directed.
Kevin Bacon
Even the people that support Bush aren't happy with the way things are going in Iraq.
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
I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.
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
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
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
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
L.A. kind of scares me.
Kevin Bacon
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.
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
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.
