More quotes by Kevin Spacey
People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.
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
Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.
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
I'm not a writer. I marvel at writing. I am sometimes absolutely astounded when I read something and I think how in the world did that man or that woman sit down at a typewriter, a computer or a pen and an ink well, and seemingly have nothing come between their heart and that pen.
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.
Kevin Spacey
I'm a relatively ugly character who's done pretty damn well in film.
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
While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.
Kevin Spacey
I think you need the failures to get the success. You learn more from that.
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
After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.
Kevin Spacey
Essentially, your voice is an instrument its a muscle, and you have to treat it like a muscle, and so you have to work it.
Kevin Spacey
Its interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
Kevin Spacey
There's something really incredible about watching what someone else does with a role that we know: the Hamlets or the Henry Vs or the Othellos or the Cleopatras that we've seen on stage.
Kevin Spacey
I was terrible in my first play. After that experience, I had to face that I wasnt good enough to play with the big boys. I had to go away and learn, so I worked in regional theater for three years. I even understudied at the Kennedy Center.
