    • Kevin Bacon: I joke that my epitaph will be, 'No Oscars, but at least he had a game named after him.'
    • (about the Six Degrees game) Kevin Bacon: I thought it was definitely going to go the way of eight-track cassettes and pet rocks. But it's a concept that has sort of hung around in the Zeitgeist.
    • Kevin Bacon: I worked with kids quite a bit in kind of rough situations, between Sleepers and The River Wild. Just I've been in situations that have been kind of difficult for kids, and what I like to do is make it as clear as possible to them that I am not that guy, and they are not that person. That we are actors and we're going to pretend together. That we are going to be colleagues and roll up our sleeves and act off of each other.
