More quotes by Kevin Spacey
After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.
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
As an actor, youre always nervous as to what a director will do with something.
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
Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.
Kevin Spacey
It's Hard to Stay Mad When There's So Much Beauty in the World
Kevin Spacey
At the end of the day, storytelling is actually very simple in its origin as long as there are people who want to tell stories and there are people who want to hear them.
Kevin Spacey
If someone can watch an entire season of a TV series in one day, doesnt that show an incredible attention span?
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
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
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
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
Talent is only interesting if it's challenged.
Kevin Spacey
Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.
Kevin Spacey
I don't want to show deleted scenes. I don't like an audience looking at what the movie might have been - if it's in the movie, it's in the movie.
Kevin Spacey
I went through a period of great rebellion within my family, when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad, I had no focus, had no real interest in anything, and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.
Kevin Spacey
Talent is one thing, it is how you nurture and develop it, and never walk away from it. You can be rich, successful, you win awards, but it can always be better.
Kevin Spacey
I certainly identify with the role of mentor and, to some degree, maybe teacher. I do a lot of work with kids at the Old Vic.
Kevin Spacey
In recent years we've seen an explosion of creative programming, and I think it represents a third golden age of television because the creators have more control over the story. The audience doesn't care about the platform. They care about the content.
Kevin Spacey
I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.
