Money isn't a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor.

More quotes by Kevin Costner
Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life.
Kevin Costner
When I played Robin Hood, I knew the great role was Alan Rickman's and it didn't bother me. I always think that leading actors should be called the best supporting actors.
Kevin Costner
I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day.
Kevin Costner
We really don't rest if we think our kids are drifting, or if we think they don't have the right work ethic. It drives us crazy. Because we ultimately want them to succeed and, until they do, we feel in some way that something is not complete.
Kevin Costner
I think that you try to raise the bar on whatever you do because you know, in this day of having to deal with a lot of reality TV, people say that scripted programming is dying, so you have to try to create something that can live in people's minds, long after they see it.
Kevin Costner
I dream of big things. I work for the small things. If you're going to dream, you might as well dream big. A lot of that came from my mother. She was adamant about the work ethic---about how you can't just dream things.
Kevin Costner
I like being around people that mean what they say.
Kevin Costner
I'm a 'what if' person. I have always felt that failure was a completely underrated experience. I have taken blows. I have had high moments. But I don't think the blows have ever hardened me. My enthusiasms are still big.
Kevin Costner
If it's going to be wrecked, I want to make sure I wreck it.
Kevin Costner
In America, politicians do whatever to get re-elected, and a lot of decisions that were being made at that time by Kennedy were certain not to get him re-elected.
Kevin Costner
You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.
Kevin Costner
You just do the things that you love and see if other people can like them too.
Kevin Costner
Conventional wisdom is so scary because what if everybody's wrong?
Kevin Costner
If I had a choice of having a woman in my arms or shooting a bad guy on a horse, I'd take the horse. It's a lot more fun
Kevin Costner
If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.
Kevin Costner
I have instinctually thought I could do things in my life, and I followed that up by sometimes putting everything I have at risk - my money, my house - to make a movie.
Kevin Costner
I didn't realize Toronto was so beautiful. Everywhere you go you see beautiful architecture.
Kevin Costner
I try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see.
Kevin Costner
I think if you want to make a good sports movie, you've got to cut down on the sports. You have to make it about people. You can't try to impress people with your knowledge and the X and O's and all the details and the technicalities.
Kevin Costner
I'm a pretty convenient foil for a lot of people.
Kevin Costner
