"Field of Dreams is probably our generation’s It’s A Wonderful Life." ― Kevin Costner Topic(s): History More From 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 O’Donnell. 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." "Money isn’t a major motivating force in my life. Nor is my profession. There are other things that I care more about than being an actor." "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." More In History "A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day."― Grandma Moses "When you say things like, ‘We have to wipe out the Taliban,’ what does that mean? The Taliban is not a fixed number of people. The Taliban is an ideology that has sprung out of a history that, you know, America created anyway."― Arundhati Roy "I’m not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money."― Lord Acton
