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
Pushing the boundaries of what is expected of you is important to me.
Kevin Spacey
I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.

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.
Kevin Spacey
It's the kind of democratization of the Internet that has led to the breaking down of barriers into the creative arts.
Kevin Spacey
It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.
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 have long been a supporter of The Princes Trust, and so when American Express asked me to launch Amex Be Inspired and help young people build their confidence and fulfil their potential, I was delighted to get involved.
Kevin Spacey
I'm supposed to convince you, for two hours, that I'm somebody else. Now if you know everything about my life, if you think you've got me figured out and you think you know all my dark secrets, how am I ever going to convince you that I'm somebody else?

Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.
