    • [On Meryl Streep] Kevin Kline: Since Sophie's Choice to A Prairie Home Companion, 25 years maybe had passed and I found her unchanged in terms of this fierce, boundless talent but stunned me during Sophie's Choice during the end of the day. She would have a million ideas and not one of them bad. It's that kind of focus and drive and self-confidence and self-possession is still there. It hasn't become jaded or tired.
    • [On if he ever thought about quitting acting] Kevin Kline: Oh yeah. Sometimes I think maybe I've seen enough of me, and I'm afraid everyone else has. I hate repeating myself. It's inevitable if you're an actor to repeat certain aspects of yourself. But sometimes I get bored with my acting, and I think that I don't have enough in my brain to be interesting every time out.
    • 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, or a soap opera, both of which I did as soon as I left the Acting Company and was starving.
