Kevin Costner

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 try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see.
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
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
