More quotes by 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
It was an experience of a lifetime to sit only a few feet away from him [Castro] and watch him relive an experience he lived as a very young man.
Kevin Costner
You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.
Kevin Costner
One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
Kevin Costner
When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.
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.
Kevin Costner

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 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
What is it you want? That's a question that we all get posed sometimes internally and sometimes externally.
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
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.
Kevin Costner
We all have to have our north star that we fix on and go to, but life is so much about the things that bump into you.
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
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 like being around people that mean what they say.
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
I think it's hard for people to suspend the era they live in and understand the decisions that had to be made often during the western frontier era were life and death. You had to be resourceful and on your feet to try to figure out somebody. You didn't have the benefit of knowing who somebody was.
Kevin Costner
