Kevin Costner Filmography

• "Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments."
• "I'm happy about the things I've done. Not always happy about the results, but happy about the decisions because I made them myself and I think that's an important way to go through life."
• "Being a celebrity is probably the closest to being a beautiful woman as you can get."
• On DANCES WITH WOLVES: "This is a bonding film for all. You could put it anywhere in history--the Berlin Wall, Kuwait."
• On being an Arsenal fan: "My first introduction to English football was in 1990 when I was over here making Robin Hood and I got invited to an Arsenal game. Having watched sports all my life in America, there was no comparison in terms of the emotion that was in the stadium that day. And I really never forgot it."
• "I'd like to put on buckskins and a ponytail and go underwater with a reed, hiding from the Indians... To me, that's sexy!"
• "It sounds vain, but I could probably make a difference for almost everyone I ever met if I chose to involve myself with them either professionally or personally."
