Quotes by Kevin Bacon

You can sit around and complain that Hollywood doesn't make any good movies. But you can generate your own material. So I read books. I come up with ideas. I was the producer on 'The Woodsman' to help get that off the ground. Sometimes that extends itself to directing.

When something takes off, it's because people are connecting to it - not because someone with a lot of followers says to care about it.

There is this idea that your social media platform is the secret to success, but no one has quite proven that to be true, if you ask me.

Being with Kyra is so natural for me; it's the easiest aspect of my life. I know that I don't need a beach or room service to be happy.
