More quotes by Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey
Am I now supposed to go on Oprah and cry and tell you my deepest, darkest secrets because you want to know?
Kevin Spacey
I'm not out there trying to get press for myself nor am I trying to convince anybody that I'm living any kind of a life. I'm actually trying to convince people: I don't want you to know what I'm living, because it's none of your business.
Kevin Spacey
The greatest sound in the theater is silence.
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
[What's my favourite book?] It changes all the time.
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
In film, movies schedules are based on three things: actors availabilities, when are sets being built, when you can rent the place youre going to film in.
Kevin Spacey
Its extremely dangerous to compare anyone else to Shakespeare.
Kevin Spacey
While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.
Kevin Spacey
I dont even think in terms of ambition.
Kevin Spacey
I never doubted at all. If you ever doubt then you are in trouble. I never thought: 'I should do this or that in case I don't make it.' I never had a back-up plan.
