More quotes by Kevin Spacey
My job as an actor is to serve the writing and help the author get his ideas across.
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.
Kevin Spacey
I think you need the failures to get the success. You learn more from that.
Kevin Spacey
If you wanna compete, youve got to get into the original content game.
Kevin Spacey
Its a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.
Kevin Spacey
I was terrible in my first play. After that experience, I had to face that I wasnt good enough to play with the big boys. I had to go away and learn, so I worked in regional theater for three years. I even understudied at the Kennedy Center.
Kevin Spacey
The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won't admit he played badly.
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
It's much more interesting when you go to different places - make a left turn when nobody expects you to make a left turn, and make a right when nobody expects you to do that.
Kevin Spacey
Secret Cinema has created a new way of experiencing film. The fusion of film and theatre allows for a much more powerful experience and adds an incredibly unique dimension for the audience. It certainly did for me. I was blown away
Kevin Spacey
Its interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.
Kevin Spacey
It's the way I feel about acting. That we are given clues by a writer about someone's essence or persona and it's our job to try to figure out which of those clues are true, which of clues we decide to follow and which of those clues we think are red herrings, or only in the way another character thinks of that character.
Kevin Spacey
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
For me, coming to work every day has turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be.
Kevin Spacey
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
There's something really incredible about watching what someone else does with a role that we know: the Hamlets or the Henry Vs or the Othellos or the Cleopatras that we've seen on stage.
Kevin Spacey
Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.
Kevin Spacey
No one should ever feel sorry for me. Ive been treated very well for the most part.
Kevin Spacey
People have different reasons for the way they live their lives. You cannot put everyone's reasons in the same box.
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.
