Zitat des Tages von Kevin Kline:
Lots of people fantasize about what it would be like if they were president... Most think they'd be decent and wouldn't be corrupted at all, that they'd remain true to themselves.
I totally related to Cole Porter's magnetic pull to any piano that was in the room, which he was famous for doing, as was Gershwin. You couldn't drag them away from a piano.
You know, actors are fans, too. And talent is very attractive to me.
It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.
Most of the comedies I've done have been rather farcical and extravagant.
We're all animals, but we're a different sort of animal. Maybe they're better than us. They're more loyal. They're more pure. They're more simple. They're not neurotic. Well, there are some neurotic dogs.
I vowed I would never do a commercial, or a soap opera - both of which I did as soon as I left the Acting Company and was starving.
When you have satire, it has to be real. No matter how outrageous the comedy becomes, you have to believe in the characters.
I've got the Jewish guilt and the Irish shame and it's a hell of a job distinguishing which is which.
I never went to class. That the university graduated me at all is an indictment of our educational system.
I can play characters who sing, but I don't like singing in a nightclub or something. It's not my metier.
I had studied piano since I was 13, but I was surrounded by students who'd been playing since they were 5. I realized I was never going to be anything but mediocre.
But, I do think, on a very simplistic level, that we can project onto dogs because they are so innocent. They don't come with a lot of baggage.
