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.

More quotes by Kevin Spacey
Whether its Veep or Homeland or The West Wing - which is a more idealised version of democracy - people are fascinated by politics.
Kevin Spacey
People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.
Kevin Spacey
People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone's reasons in the same box.
Kevin Spacey
My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.
Kevin Spacey
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's the kind of democratization of the Internet that has led to the breaking down of barriers into the creative arts.
Kevin Spacey
I don't want to show deleted scenes. I don't like an audience looking at what the movie might have been - if it's in the movie, it's in the movie.
Kevin Spacey
I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.
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
I've never heard of a situation where, because somebody had a particular political belief, they didn't get a part. I think it's a bit of a myth.
Kevin Spacey
I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.
Kevin Spacey
Cable TV has become where the best actors, writers and directors have gone to work because they are allowed to do character-driven stories.
Kevin Spacey
Netflix did it right and focused on all the things that have replaced the dumb, raw numbers of the Nielsen world - they embraced targeted marketing and 'brand' as a virtue higher than ratings.
Kevin Spacey
I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.
Kevin Spacey
It's Hard to Stay Mad When There's So Much Beauty in the World
Kevin Spacey
Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.
Kevin Spacey
If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.
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.
Kevin Spacey
The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.
Kevin Spacey
Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it.
