I like being able to go to a local pub and have great food and particularly love pubs that welcome my dogs. – Kevin Spacey
As long as we, in the United States, continue to insist that our politicians have to spend all of their time raising millions of dollars for television ads, it will be corrupt. If we leave it up to the politicians to clean up lobbying and finance reform, nothing is going to change. – Kevin Spacey
The more shows that are produced, the more writers are hired, producers are hired, actors are hired, directors are hired, it means the more people will get employed. It’s better for the economy. It’s a fantastic thing. – Kevin Spacey
I’ve always found it strange that a director can hire any designer he wants from any country. But if he hires a foreign actor, it’s like he’s stolen the crown jewels and run across the river with them. – Kevin Spacey
One of the tasks that any artistic director has is, you’re trying to bring elements together that will work. The truth is that you could bring all the best talents in the world together and produce a big turkey. – Kevin Spacey
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
While the sciences are hugely important, let us not leave behind a child’s imagination. – Kevin Spacey
While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future. – Kevin Spacey
You have to always be ready, always be alive, and always be willing to move in a new direction. – Kevin Spacey
I liked it because it was such a dangerous script and showed just what human beings are capable of. Here was a movie in which Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who always win in every movie they ever do, simply don’t win. I felt that was outrageous for a commercial movie. – Kevin Spacey
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. Well, some will still steal it, but I think we can take a bite out of piracy. – Kevin Spacey
Kids aren’t growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas. – Kevin Spacey
People say, ‘If you open a movie online at the same time as in movie theatres, no one is going to go to the movies.’ That’s just not true. People love to go out and have a shared experience; they always will. – Kevin Spacey
Why not sit around a Beverly Hills pool collecting residual cheques? That is not the kind of life I want. – Kevin Spacey
The relationship with the cast has everything to do with how a performance develops, and in a sense that while you’re discovering a play in the course of rehearsal with the director, you’re also discovering it with your fellow actors. We’re all in it together. – Kevin Spacey
Partisan rancour and party politics and ideology have got in the way of compromise – and compromise is the only thing that has ever made politics successful. – Kevin Spacey
When you’re just able to distill it down to the idea and the feeling that a character is experiencing in a scene, it can become very, very razor sharp and really clean and really efficient and simple. And sometimes it takes twenty-five years to learn how to be simple. – Kevin Spacey
Bobby Darin was one of the first to take black musicians on the road with his band, and there were places that didn’t want him to play, and he stood up to it. – Kevin Spacey
I think it is just a function of the fact that I moved around so much as a child that I learnt early on to make every place my home. – Kevin Spacey
Games are advancing in terms of storytelling and trying to create a character, and it’s a brand new audience for me. – Kevin Spacey
I’m always taken aback by things that are successful that I think are just crap, and then I’m completely surprised when things I do end up being successful because you walk into things and you never know… It’s just really remarkable. – Kevin Spacey
