More quotes by Kevin Spacey
The story is everything, which means it's our job to tell better stories.
Kevin Spacey
Meeting the person you are going to be playing is very unique.
Kevin Spacey
I certainly identify with the role of mentor and, to some degree, maybe teacher. I do a lot of work with kids at the Old Vic.
Kevin Spacey
The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.
Kevin Spacey
A man can convince anyone hes someone else but never himself.
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
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
At the end of the day, storytelling is actually very simple in its origin as long as there are people who want to tell stories and there are people who want to hear them.
Kevin Spacey
Am I now supposed to go on Oprah and cry and tell you my deepest, darkest secrets because you want to know?
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
I've been around politics a long time. I've seen it at its best and its worst, been at so many events, listened to private conversations versus public speaking, understood the game of it, and in many ways the theatrics.
Kevin Spacey
Why not sit around a Beverly Hills pool collecting residual cheques? That is not the kind of life I want.
Kevin Spacey
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making us believe that he's not real.
Kevin Spacey
Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.
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
Theatre is alive and it is now, and then it's gone.
Kevin Spacey
It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.
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
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 characters created cannot just be a mouthpiece for the writer. When you look at a piece of writing, and it's genuine and it doesn't feel like every character is just a mouthpiece for the writer, but that they've been created in such a way that they're expressing an idea that a writer wants to get across, that's when a story succeeds.
