I think what we have seen in terms of gay teenagers committing suicide because of bullying is anguishing. I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone. But I feel that they have just as many rights as I do to not be bullied.

If you ignore the murdering and the conniving, Francis Underwood is an effective politician.
Kevin Spacey
Image
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

Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.
Kevin Spacey

The less you know about me the easier it is to convince you that I'm the character on screen.

If youre not concerned about maintaining an image, you can pursue roads that another actor might not take.

But I feel that I have a responsibility to help the film and I have relations with the studio and with those who put up the money so that I can tell a story that I believe in.
