If youre not concerned about maintaining an image, you can pursue roads that another actor might not take.

It's Hard to Stay Mad When There's So Much Beauty in the World
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
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
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
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.

Netflix did it right and focused on all the things that have replaced the dumb, raw numbers of the Nielsen world - they embraced targeted marketing and 'brand' as a virtue higher than ratings.

Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it.
Kevin Spacey
Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.
Kevin Spacey
But I feel that I have a responsibility to help the film and I have relations with the studio and with those who put up the money so that I can tell a story that I believe in.
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
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 dont categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I dont judge I just play them.
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
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
The greatest sound in the theater is silence.
Kevin Spacey
If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.
Kevin Spacey
As an actor, youre always nervous as to what a director will do with something.
Kevin Spacey
No one should ever feel sorry for me. Ive been treated very well for the most part.
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.
