Kevin Bacon Filmography

• "There are two types of actors: those who say they want to be famous and those who are liars."
• "My length of my hair is always directly related to how long I've been out of work, because I don't cut it between jobs... You never know if you're going to have to play a woman. As you can tell I'm desperate for a gig right now!"
• "Los Angeles is a great place to be when your movie is No 1, or you're nominated for an Oscar, or you have just landed the lead in a new Scorsese film. But you feel that way maybe one month in every five years. For the rest of the time when I'm there I feel like a loser. I feel like I'm surrounded by reminders that I'm not, you know, at the top. Not at the top, top of the top."
• "I've been in a lot of successful movies, but I can't pull people in. I mean, not with any kind of guarantee. ... In the course of a career, an actor spends a lot more time being unsuccessful than being successful. Unfortunately, that's just they way it is."
• "I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50."
• "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."
