More quotes by Kevin Spacey
The characters created cannot just be a mouthpiece for the writer. When you look at a piece of writing, and it's genuine and it doesn't feel like every character is just a mouthpiece for the writer, but that they've been created in such a way that they're expressing an idea that a writer wants to get across, that's when a story succeeds.

Kevin Spacey
Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.

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.
Kevin Spacey
Directing a film was something I was yearning to do. I always wanted to see if I had the capacity to be a good storyteller.
