More quotes by Kevin Spacey
One can never take the cynicism one comes across in life too seriously.
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
If you ignore the murdering and the conniving, Francis Underwood is an effective politician.
Kevin Spacey
I'm a relatively ugly character who's done pretty damn well in film.
Kevin Spacey
Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected.
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
I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.
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
Secret Cinema has created a new way of experiencing film. The fusion of film and theatre allows for a much more powerful experience and adds an incredibly unique dimension for the audience. It certainly did for me. I was blown away
Kevin Spacey
The work of John Lennon was marked by its exquisite beauty and by its brutal honesty.
Kevin Spacey
Fortunately for me, I don't come from the school where you only measure success by how much money something makes or whether it has a big box-office weekend. I measure it by how much people actually participate in the process.
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
Meeting the person you are going to be playing is very unique.
Kevin Spacey
To look in the eyes of audiences and see the kind of naughty glee that they got with being on the inside, the audience becomes your co-conspirators.
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
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
Talent is one thing, it is how you nurture and develop it, and never walk away from it. You can be rich, successful, you win awards, but it can always be better.
Kevin Spacey
Anyone with a internet connection and an idea can develop an audience
Kevin Spacey
I dont even think in terms of ambition.
Kevin Spacey
Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.
