Some of my favorite characters that I've played have been very pompous because I love making fun of pompous people.
From 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.
It was all completely incomprehensible to me. I was fearful of the language. You had to look up every third word.
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 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.
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.
I just don't think I'm a very good singer.
I can play characters who sing, but I don't like singing in a nightclub or something. It's not my metier.
Dogs do have feelings, I gather.
