More quotes by Kevin Spacey
You've got to trust the ground you're standing on and the work you've done in telling your story. The goal should be to bring those thousands of people - viewers - together and make them one. When you feel that happening, it's usually in silence, not applause or laughter.
Kevin Spacey
One can never take the cynicism one comes across in life too seriously.
Kevin Spacey
I'm supposed to convince you, for two hours, that I'm somebody else. Now if you know everything about my life, if you think you've got me figured out and you think you know all my dark secrets, how am I ever going to convince you that I'm somebody else?
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

Kevin Spacey
When the story is good enough, people can watch something three times the length of an opera.
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
If someone can watch an entire season of a TV series in one day, doesnt that show an incredible attention span?
Kevin Spacey
My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.
Kevin Spacey
In recent years we've seen an explosion of creative programming, and I think it represents a third golden age of television because the creators have more control over the story. The audience doesn't care about the platform. They care about the content.
Kevin Spacey
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.
Kevin Spacey
Talent is only interesting if it's challenged.
Kevin Spacey
It's much more interesting when you go to different places - make a left turn when nobody expects you to make a left turn, and make a right when nobody expects you to do that.
Kevin Spacey
I always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.
Kevin Spacey
If you're lucky enough to have done well, then it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down.
Kevin Spacey
You can't win a marathon without putting some bandaids on your nipples!
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.
