"I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me"

This quote by Kevin Bacon talks to the power of effort and decision. He was a young, hungry actor when he was cast in the movie Footloose, and he was the only one they evaluate tested. This shows that he was the best option for the function, and the director and manufacturer needed to convince the head of the studio to hire him. This speaks to Bacon's skill and devotion to his craft, as he was able to show himself to be the very best option for the function. Despite his success, Bacon still does not watch the films he makes, so he hasn't seen Footloose considering that it came out. This talks to his humility and his concentrate on the present, as he is more interested in the work he is doing now than the work he has actually already done.
