More quotes by Kevin Spacey
Im attracted to things that are challenging and fun and interesting, and it certainly seems that audiences enjoy them as well.
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 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
Clearly the success of the Netflix model, releasing the entire season of 'House of Cards' at once, proved one thing: The audience wants the control. They want the freedom. If they want to binge as they've been doing on 'House of Cards' and lots of other shows, we should let them binge.

I dont categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I dont judge I just play them.
Kevin Spacey
My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.
Kevin Spacey
Meeting the person you are going to be playing is very unique.
Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey
People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.
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
It's a great thriller or mystery, but on another level it's a film about the fact that, if you only look at a person through one lens, or only believe what you're told, you can often miss the truth that is staring you in the face.
Kevin Spacey
Its a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.
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
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
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
It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.
Kevin Spacey
Pushing the boundaries of what is expected of you is important to me.
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.
