Kevin Spacey Quotes

While the sciences are hugely important, let us not leave behind a childs imagination Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you haven’t turned rebel by twenty you’ve got no heart; if you haven’t turned establishment by thirty you’ve got no brains! Picture Quote #1

Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get Picture Quote #1

And I certainly won’t lay out areas of my life that I think are just private Picture Quote #1

As the years have gone on, I find one of the dangers of watching dailies... is you fall in love with moments Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For me, coming to work every day has turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be Picture Quote #1

I feel it’s a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift Picture Quote #1

I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman Picture Quote #1

I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m aware that, from the outside, this looks like I’ve got quite an ego Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m not someone who’s led my life trying to get publicity; I’d rather do my work and go home Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

I’ve been on sets where things weren’t relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we’re wrong, and often we’re dead wrong, we miss the truth Picture Quote #1

No one’s personal life is in the public interest. It’s gossip, bottom line. End of story Picture Quote #1

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way Picture Quote #1

To me, getting up every single night and trying to reach out to an audience, and trying to dig deeper and further in the play to serve the writer and to understand yourself in that context is how you continue to grow and learn Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s not even about being negative. It’s just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished Picture Quote #1

We’ve learned the lesson that the music industry didn’t learn: give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price, and they’ll more likely pay for it rather than steal it Picture Quote #1

Whatever mistakes you make this time around, you will live through on your next pass. Every mistake you make, you will live through again and again, forever. So my advice to you is to get it right this time around. Because this time is all you have Picture Quote #1

If it were not for people who stepped forward and gave me opportunities at a time when I had not proved myself at all, believe me, I would not have a career Picture Quote #1

The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won’t admit he played badly Picture Quote #1

To know what you want, to understand why you’re doing it, to dedicate every breath in your body to achieve... If you feel you have something to give, if you feel that your particular talent is worth developing, is worth caring for then there’s nothing you can’t achieve Picture Quote #1
