I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.

For my wife and I, for so many years, a lot of our identity was based on being Hollywood haters. We were like, 'We're east-coast. We're New Yorkers. This is just a place that we have to come to, but not by choice.'

I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic.
Kevin Bacon -
We are being choked to death by the amount of plastic that we throw away. It's killing our oceans. It's entering into our bodies in the fish we eat.
Kevin Bacon -
The most challenging work and the best work I've ever done was in a thing I did for PBS called 'Lemon Sky', a play by Lanford Wilson. I think it's the rawest, most complex work that I've had to do, and the thing I'm most proud of.
Kevin Bacon -
I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.
Kevin Bacon -
Fame is something that is tough when it comes. It's a weird thing to take on in real life. I was a little bit afraid and, as a result, kind of turned my back on it. You should embrace it because it's going to be a part of who you are, and it's going to be a part of what this business is about.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

I'm not someone who comes onstage and says, 'I'm rewriting this now.' I don't think it's fair to the writers or the director, or the other actors.
Kevin Bacon -
When it happened to us and it was all gone overnight, we said, 'We are in this together, we are healthy, our children are healthy and we can work'.
Kevin Bacon -
My dad was an architect, and he wasn't a rich guy, but in our little world in Philadelphia, he was famous. He loved to see his picture in the paper. I wanted to be more famous than him.
Kevin Bacon -
The greats are 'The Shining', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'Don't Look Now', 'The Exorcist' - those movies were not really slashers: they were about psychological terror and had very deep emotional backdrops. If we do our best, '6 Miranda Drive' can be that kind of a movie.
Kevin Bacon -
I think of myself more as a workhorse actor. It will be hot and cold and up and down, but no one will kick me out of the business.
Kevin Bacon -
If you look at my movie career, I do switch it up a lot. I'm always looking for a lot of different parts. It's been a while since I've been in a situation that was romantic.

If you look at films about becoming a man, coming-of-age movies are made with 12-, 16-, 40-, 50-year-olds... For a guy to feel like he's a 100 percent grown-up is almost like giving up. Like admitting that you're on your way into the grave.
Kevin Bacon -
The business that people do in LA on the social level is amazing. You go to a restaurant, bump into this guy or that guy. The next day you get a call, and they want you in their movie.
Kevin Bacon -
I have fond memories of Chris Penn, who's sadly not with us. He always made me laugh - it was great to be with him.
Kevin Bacon -
Do you want to be the guy with a game named after you or be the one with 18 Oscar nominations?
Kevin Bacon -
It does get old to have to always be a monkey in a zoo. I don't know what it's like any more to be anonymous.
Kevin Bacon -
Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.

-
I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.
Kevin Bacon -
I don't have to do the lead. If I dig a part, I'll do it.
Kevin Bacon -
Ninety-five percent of celebrity is good.
Kevin Bacon -
I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.
