Meeting the person you are going to be playing is very unique.

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
I think people love it when anybody acts bad its not particular to me.
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
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
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
Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.
