Quote

I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that.

You have to try to dismiss the loudness of cynicism. It's certainly going to come.
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.

Conventional wisdom is so scary because what if everybody's wrong?
Kevin Costner
Image
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.
Kevin Costner
Image
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?

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.

You can spend your life trying to be popular, and that's a tricky business. You can just try to be true to yourself.
Kevin Costner

I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.
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.

There's a moment in time where kids really don't want to hear anything from their parents.
Kevin Costner
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Audiences trust Westerns when you hit the right tone. I think they're not in vogue, but they will always be in vogue when you hit the right note.
Kevin Costner
Image
A good idea is something like an emotion, you just can't keep it in.
Kevin Costner
Image
I like being around people that mean what they say.
Kevin Costner
Image
When I see my children, and when I see the people who value me, I know how lucky I am.
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
One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
Kevin Costner
Image
I want to live forever, and I know I won't. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only afraid of one thing: not being able to raise my kids.
Kevin Costner

I'm a pretty convenient foil for a lot of people.
