I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people. – Kevin Costner
I dont feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldnt do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched. – Kevin Costner
Im glad movies arent going to please everybody, they cant. But what they have to be is recognisable. I dont equate myself with a master painter, but I think you can recognise my films. – Kevin Costner
We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean, are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone, that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? Its a delusion to think its gone away. – Kevin Costner
Politicians also have a love affair with the small business exemption. Too much paperwork? Too heavy a burden? Not enough time? Just exempt small businesses from the rule. It sounds so pro-growth. Instead its an admission that the costs of a regulation just cant be justified. – John Sununu
