Quote

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.

The kind of love that these young men have and the respect that they have for their fathers, I don't see that as much in America as you see in the Latino community, and it's really something to behold.

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.

Image
You know, what if everybody's wrong in life? And so you have to live your life yourself.
Kevin Costner
Image
I don't have a seller's remorse about how I've lived. I am cognizant of what I have done, and any of us could maybe draw the line better. But I've tried to live pretty fearlessly.
Kevin Costner
Image
I always thought the leading actor should be the best supporting actor, because you're the only person that can help every other actor on the set.

Life's better when it's fun. Boy, that's deep, isn't it?

What is it you want? That's a question that we all get posed sometimes internally and sometimes externally.

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.

My whole life has been instinctual for me. I wouldn't do well in the computer world. My children look at me for a question and then they quickly look away because they know that I'm not going to know how to make Super Mario or do anything.

Image
You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.
Kevin Costner
Image
President Kennedy was willing to go to war. He was not a coward. The man had been in war and so had Ken O'Donnell. He was ready to protect this nation, but he was not ready for a military solution just because it was being rammed down his throat.

I can't say I really see much difference between my son and daughters except that my girls will occasionally make me a sandwich and my son won't.

If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.
Kevin Costner
Image
I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody, they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter, but I think you can recognise my films.
Kevin Costner
Image
I don't think I ever take huge risks, though I'm not scared of doing so.
Kevin Costner
Image
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
Image
Conventional wisdom is so scary because what if everybody's wrong?

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.

One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
