• Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life. (Kevin Costner) [dreams/life]

• I could make an ultra-violent movie. I could make one that would surprise a lot of people, because I believe in violence, in the vulgarity of it, I believe in how clumsy it looks. And I believe with a good script, I could make it. I haven't found that particular movie yet. (Kevin Costner) [movie/surprise/people/vulgarity]
• I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't 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) [people/director/war/sequence]
• I don't think I ever take huge risks, though I'm not scared of doing so. (Kevin Costner) [think/take]
• I don't think I'd have been as good as Bruce was. He was a better JFK than I would have been. (Kevin Costner) [think]

• I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check. (Kevin Costner) [think/people/time/people]
• I wanted to see the debates and I believe in the quality of the argument. I don't vote party line. I vote for the best person. I am a purist. (Kevin Costner) [quality/argument/vote/vote]
• I wanted very much to do Traffic and at one point it looked like I was going to work on it. And then, of course, Catherine Zeta-Jones had her relationship with Michael Douglas and it suddenly didn't happen. (Kevin Costner) [point]
• I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics. (Kevin Costner) [people]

• I'm only interested in being a good actor and in being remembered for my best films, not for the way I look. But it seems inevitable in this line of work that I have to care about the way I look without getting obsessed about it. (Kevin Costner) [being/being/look/care]
• I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that. (Kevin Costner) [life/think/more]
• I've always been fiscally responsible. Sometimes you have to understand where these budgets came from. I did Dances with Wolves for $16m. I put my own money into this movie. I had to be creative. (Kevin Costner) [money/movie]
• I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them. (Kevin Costner) [actors]
• I've had some movies that have been ridiculed, but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular? (Kevin Costner) [change]
• I've never done a film for a paycheque, I've never done one to fill a time slot, and I've never done one to take care of an alimony payment. (Kevin Costner) [film/time/take/care]

• It would not have been effective if I'd played John Kennedy in Thirteen Days. It would have been a splashy little turn, but as a producer I can't just serve myself because it itches my acting bone. (Kevin Costner)
