What I like about Britain is that I can live a normal life here.
Kevin Spacey
Look, at the end of the day people have to respect people's differences. I am different than some people would like me to be.
Kevin Spacey
It's the way I feel about acting. That we are given clues by a writer about someone's essence or persona and it's our job to try to figure out which of those clues are true, which of clues we decide to follow and which of those clues we think are red herrings, or only in the way another character thinks of that character.
Kevin Spacey
Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.
Kevin Spacey
But I feel that I have a responsibility to help the film and I have relations with the studio and with those who put up the money so that I can tell a story that I believe in.

I think what we have seen in terms of gay teenagers committing suicide because of bullying is anguishing. I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone. But I feel that they have just as many rights as I do to not be bullied.
Kevin Spacey

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.
Kevin Spacey
If you haven't turned rebel by twenty you've got no heart if you haven't turned establishment by thirty you've got no brains!
Kevin Spacey
To know what you want, to understand why you're doing it, to dedicate every breath in your body to achieve... If you feel you have something to give, if you feel that your particular talent is worth developing, is worth caring for then there's nothing you can`t achieve.
Kevin Spacey
Pushing the boundaries of what is expected of you is important to me.
Kevin Spacey
Games are advancing in terms of storytelling and trying to create a character, and its a brand new audience for me.
Kevin Spacey
You risk working with this director, you risk making this movie, you risk working with another actor you don't know. It makes your heart beat faster. And it keeps you interested.
Kevin Spacey
I think you need the failures to get the success. You learn more from that.
Kevin Spacey
As the years have gone on, I find one of the dangers of watching dailies... is you fall in love with moments.
Kevin Spacey
You are not just, This is the way I play it every night. You are constantly finding new ways in, new attacks, I want to try it this way. Maybe this scene is affecting that scene. I want to attack this scene differently.
Kevin Spacey
It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.
Kevin Spacey
If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.
Kevin Spacey
I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.
Kevin Spacey
If you're lucky enough to have done well, then it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down.
