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.

The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won't admit he played badly.
Kevin Spacey
Image
I open myself up every time I walk on screen and give you everything that I am. There are parts of me that are in every movie that I've done. That to me is what my job is.
Kevin Spacey
Image
Whether its Veep or Homeland or The West Wing - which is a more idealised version of democracy - people are fascinated by politics.
Kevin Spacey
Image
A man can convince anyone hes someone else but never himself.
Kevin Spacey
Image
There are times when you do a play when you are living in the character over a two-and-a-half-hour period or longer, and you come to the end of the night, and you can feel like you were hit by a truck.
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
To look in the eyes of audiences and see the kind of naughty glee that they got with being on the inside, the audience becomes your co-conspirators.

Image
No one’s personal life is in the public interest. It’s gossip, bottom line. End of story.
Kevin Spacey
Image
Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected.

Image
The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.
Kevin Spacey
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.
Kevin Spacey
Image
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 always thought that, in a way, you want your Superman to be a total unknown.
Kevin Spacey
Image
Secondarily, I think films that are driven by music also terrify studios.
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

Theatre is alive and it is now, and then it's gone.
Kevin Spacey
Image
Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.
Kevin Spacey
Image
One can never take the cynicism one comes across in life too seriously.
Kevin Spacey
Image
I terribly miss - we all miss, I think - somebody like the great producer Irving Thalberg. He had a foot in both camps: He understood us creative people. And he understood the money people.
Kevin Spacey
Image
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.
