More quotes by Kevin Spacey
My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.
Kevin Spacey
My job is to interpret. I'm an interpreter. I can add things and bring unique qualities to the role that the writer may not have thought of, but someone else created the fundamental idea.
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
It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.
Kevin Spacey
Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.
Kevin Spacey
I am not an image. I am a human being.
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
Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.
Kevin Spacey
We have learned the lesson that the music industry didn't learn. Give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price - and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it.
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
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
I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.
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
If someone can watch an entire season of a TV series in one day, doesnt that show an incredible attention span?
Kevin Spacey
People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.
Kevin Spacey
You are not just, This is the way I play it every night. You are constantly finding new ways in, new attacks, I want to try it this way. Maybe this scene is affecting that scene. I want to attack this scene differently.
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 have long been a supporter of The Princes Trust, and so when American Express asked me to launch Amex Be Inspired and help young people build their confidence and fulfil their potential, I was delighted to get involved.
Kevin Spacey
If youre not concerned about maintaining an image, you can pursue roads that another actor might not take.
Kevin Spacey
Its a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.
