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
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
President Kennedy was willing to go to war. He was not a coward. The man had been in war and so had Ken ODonnell. He was ready to protect this nation, but he was not ready for a military solution just because it was being rammed down his throat. – Kevin Costner
There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I dont think are good for movies. Theyre trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out. – Kevin Costner
Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie.
