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.

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

There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.
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.

I think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don’t believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it’s the end of our species.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

I do better on the first three takes I won't be better at 20 takes.

After so many years it's embarrassing to admit that I don't honestly know how much I want to be directed.

Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him.
