When you know you have 1,000 people sitting on the edge of their seats in silence because of a shift that just happened on stage, there is no better feeling.
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
What I do is interpret, not create. I may add elements and do something different. That is what is so incredible about theatre. Why do we love it that there are nine Hamletsor six King Lears over two years? We love to watch a different actor attack the same material.

Anyone with a internet connection and an idea can develop an audience

Over a spell of about three years, I played a series of roles that were, for me, all very different, but most of them came out within a six-month period. They all dealt with a kind of dark territory that in some cases had been mined before in movies.

Look, I might have lived in England for the last several years but I'm still an American citizen and I have not given up my right to privacy.

As an actor, youre always nervous as to what a director will do with something.
Kevin Spacey
There are times when you do a play when you are living in the character over a two-and-a-half-hour period or longer, and you come to the end of the night, and you can feel like you were hit by a truck.
Kevin Spacey
If you look back through history in the United States, there have been very few landslide elections. Half the country always voted for someone else.
Kevin Spacey
Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.
Kevin Spacey
Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.
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
Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.
Kevin Spacey
No one should ever feel sorry for me. Ive been treated very well for the most part.
Kevin Spacey
I'm not out there trying to get press for myself nor am I trying to convince anybody that I'm living any kind of a life. I'm actually trying to convince people: I don't want you to know what I'm living, because it's none of your business.
Kevin Spacey
My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.
Kevin Spacey
I can imagine there is going to come a time when someone will do 13 hours of a story without breaks.
Kevin Spacey
Why not sit around a Beverly Hills pool collecting residual cheques? That is not the kind of life I want.
Kevin Spacey
Theatre is alive and it is now, and then it's gone.

Fundamentally, I like to accomplish things.
