More quotes by Kevin Costner
I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check.
Kevin Costner
If you're going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you're tearing down someone else's hero. You're tearing down somebody else's son. You might have to face her one day.
Kevin Costner
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.
Kevin Costner
Conventional wisdom is so scary because what if everybody's wrong?
Kevin Costner
I'm in a position where whatever I do, I can get my head handed to me. I'm in a position to fail because there is a whole group of people out there who want me to fail. It's a weird vibe.
Kevin Costner
Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments.

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
One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
Kevin Costner
Sometimes it takes a partner to say, What is it you want? because I think we operate in life and sometimes we don't know. We're all in some kind of maze going after the cheese at the end, and we get it and we go, What is it that we want?
Kevin Costner
A good idea is something like an emotion, you just can't keep it in.
Kevin Costner
I don't think I'd have been as good as Bruce was. He was a better JFK than I would have been.
Kevin Costner
I think there's true drama in the formation of everything that we know and are standing on the shoulders of.
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
We recognize ourselves in Westerns, ... I believe the Western can orchestrate moments around reality. The reality can be as entertaining to us as the lie.
Kevin Costner
If it's going to be wrecked, I want to make sure I wreck it.
Kevin Costner
You just do the things that you love and see if other people can like them too.
Kevin Costner
You have to pick the stories that you want to be involved with and the end game is you'd like to be a part of a hit. But I think your moral obligation is to follow your own heart.
Kevin Costner
When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.
Kevin Costner
It's nice to be wanted in almost any capacity.
Kevin Costner
We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.
