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.

More quotes by Kevin Costner
One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
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
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
Life's better when it's fun. Boy, that's deep, isn't it?
Kevin Costner
I wait and take on projects that I think can work.
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
I have seen soldiers panic at the first sight of battle, and a squire pulling arrows from his body to fight and save his dying horse. Nobility is not a birthright, but is defined by one's actions.
Kevin Costner
When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.
Kevin Costner
I've always felt that failure was a completely underrated experience.
Kevin Costner
I've had some movies that have been ridiculed, but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular?
Kevin Costner
You can be as you choose to be. It's an act of discipline sometimes, but it can be done.
Kevin Costner
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
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.
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
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
If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.
Kevin Costner
I like being around people that mean what they say.
Kevin Costner
I'd like to put on buckskins and a ponytail and go underwater with a reed, hiding from the Indians... To me, that's sexy!
Kevin Costner
There's a moment in time where kids really don't want to hear anything from their parents.
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?
