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.

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
Image
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.
Kevin Spacey
Image
The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.

Image
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.

I have always believed that the risk takers are eventually rewarded.

People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone's reasons in the same box.

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.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making us believe that he's not real.

As an actor, youre always nervous as to what a director will do with something.
Kevin Spacey
Image
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
Image
I'm a relatively ugly character who's done pretty damn well in film.
Kevin Spacey
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Im attracted to things that are challenging and fun and interesting, and it certainly seems that audiences enjoy them as well.

Image
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.

Let's let people live their lives and do it the way they want to do it.

I can't imagine that anyone in Hollywood is sitting around trying to decide what actor is good or right or qualified for a role and is being denied a role because of their political views. I don't think that's the way Hollywood works. We're not living in an era of blacklisting.

When you know you have 1,000 people sitting on the edge of their seats in silence because of a shift that just happened on stage, there is no better feeling.
