I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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.
Kevin Costner
Image
I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics.
Kevin Costner
Image
If you're going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you're tearing down someone else's hero. You're tearing down somebody else's son. You might have to face her one day.
Kevin Costner
Image
You can be as you choose to be. It's an act of discipline sometimes, but it can be done.
Kevin Costner
Image
I try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see.
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.
Kevin Costner
Image
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.

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
Image
I think I'm a pretty right down the middle guy. I just think that's kind of who I am. I'm not afraid of my own journey.

It sounds vain, but I could probably make a difference for almost everyone I ever met if I chose to involve myself with them either professionally or personally.
