I see God as a song-and-dance man. If I had my way, he'd be able to carry a tune, too. Preferably, one of mine.

More quotes by Kevin Kline
I just don't think I'm a very good singer.
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.
Kevin Kline
I'm a real pushover for animals.
Kevin Kline
It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.
Kevin Kline
The technique's many benefits for actors include minimized tension, centeredness, vocal relaxation, and responsiveness, mind/body connection and about an inch and a half of additional height.
Kevin Kline
I've never felt completely satisfied with what I've done. I tend to see things too critically. I'm trying to get over that.
Kevin Kline
I like variety, which is frustrating. But I've always been picky. I was afraid Pirates would be too much like Twentieth Century, broad comedy. But my agent talked me into it. I was spoiled by the range of a repertory theater.
Kevin Kline
But you have to trust your instincts. Because you're not going to try it 20 different ways during rehearsal. You'll try it two or three different ways, maybe, but then you've got five other scenes you're shooting that day. You've got to keep going.
Kevin Kline
You know, actors are fans, too. And talent is very attractive to me.
Kevin Kline
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
Kevin Kline
Hindsight. It's like foresight without a future.
Kevin Kline
Nobody sees the same movie. I'm sure there are people who saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and thought Finally a gay movie about men who really care about each other. Thank God! That's not what I saw necessarily but I don't think any two people see the same movie.
Kevin Kline
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.
Kevin Kline
Playing Shakespeare requires technique. You don't play a Bach toccata by getting in the mood.
Kevin Kline
Ambition without contribution is of no significance.
Kevin Kline
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.
Kevin Kline
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films. I vowed I would never do a commercial, nor would I do a soap opera - both of which I did as soon as I left the Acting Company and was starving.
Kevin Kline
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.
Kevin Kline
It never ceases to surprise me, the people I get to work with. I'm in a French film with Sandrine Bonnaire? I adore Sandrine Bonnaire. I'm doing a picture for Robert Redford? The Sundance Kid? I have to pinch myself sometimes.
Kevin Kline
Most of the comedies I've done have been rather farcical and extravagant.
