London, March 7 (IANS): Actor Kevin Spacey, 55, is keen to have children, but believes he is still at an "early" stage of his life.

"No. I have wanted to have children. I do want to have children. It's early," Spacey replied when asked if he relates to his "House of Cards" character Frank Underwood and his wife Claire (Robin Wright) putting their careers before children, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

It is not known if the actor is currently dating someone, but one relationship he will always have is with London -- where he has been artistic director at the Old Vic theatre since 2014.

"I think I'll always be in both worlds (London and the theatre). I love it here. I'm so glad I did it. I love this country a great deal and there's nothing I can say about it that would be negative.

"People thought I was f***ing out of my mind. Certainly in America they thought I was crazy. I don't look so crazy now," he added to The Times newspaper.
