More quotes by Kevin Costner
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
I've always been distracted when somebody is coming after me and saying, You're the only person who can play this part.
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
I've been evolving in my stunt career Stunts have always had their place, and I have to measure them now. I've done things where, if I make a mistake, I could die. You really need to look at each thing. That usually is a mechanical failure. So, I have gone from doing everything, to listening and saying, Maybe I shouldn't do this.
Kevin Costner
I wait and take on projects that I think can work.
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
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
What is it you want? That's a question that we all get posed sometimes internally and sometimes externally.
Kevin Costner
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.
Kevin Costner
If you don't understand your limitations you won't achieve much in your life.
Kevin Costner
I don't read as much as I'd like. I've been writing a lot. I've been doing a lot of music, but I don't read as much as I should. I just don't.
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
I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics.
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
My whole life has been instinctual for me. I wouldn't do well in the computer world.
Kevin Costner
When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.
Kevin Costner
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 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
I think religion is a funny thing because, when you see somebody who can really break it down, sometimes it feels foolish what you believe.
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.
