"When I first started out, I was lucky enough to meet Jack Lemmon, who encouraged me to become an actor. He subsequently became a great mentor in my life. Jack had a phrase that he used all the time that I've now adopted as my own. He believed that if you've been successful in your chosen path, if you've been able to realize your ambition, then you are obligated to 'send the elevator back down," Spacey wrote on the website for his foundation.
