Has acting ever been a spiritual thing for you? So you have to bring a generosity of spirit, you have to bring a playfulness, an openness, accessibility, vulnerability and all those things.

If you’re looking at me like, “What the… how did I get stuck in this movie with this jerk?” I’m not going to do very well. You know, you have to love each other because we’re all being so silly together. It’s very collaborative and it’s communal and it’s a kind of fake family that you’re in that’s kind of nurturing and mutually loving. Or, “Wow, that was a good show tonight!” But I do get very happy when I’m working. When your first child is born, that’s it, you can’t compare that to, “Oh, that take was my favorite!” (Laughs) That’s a different sort of thrill. No, when am I most alive? Of course family has a special place. When I’m asleep? I had a great dream last night.

When do you feel like you live the most these days? But I’d still like to have a life and a career. No, I wasn’t quite ready to give up acting for it, but suddenly I had a wife and children and because of her being who she is – and two brilliant, wonderful children – I’ve had a life, and something of a career on the side. (Laughs) I wanted to fix it! 'Wonderful things can come from acting – from being childlike and putting on costumes and playing dress up and telling lies.'ĭid you ever consider giving up acting to dedicate your life to your family like your wife did? Because I saw a different movie than my family saw. Because it’s hard making a film! I don’t think the general public is the same way, but I think it depends on the mood you’re in when you see something, your mindset. Would you have reacted differently if you would have just finished a movie?Īfter you’ve just made a film, you go see a film and you go, “It was great! It’s hard and they sure did their best, they gave it a really good shot.” You’re totally forgiving. “I’m supposed to believe that? What about the logic that’s missing here, here, here – throughout?” Because you’re thinking about the script you’re doing. When you’re just about to make a movie, almost anything you see, you see the flaws, you see the holes, you see the manipulation. And I knew exactly why I hated it, because I’m starting a movie in three days. They all kind of enjoyed it and I hated it. Well, I saw a movie with my family the other day. There is my work and then there is my life. I’m going to be a mom, a wife.” Now I suppose I compartmentalize. I’m having children, I’m not going to do that anymore. I married someone who is an actress as well who said, “I’m done. My life was my work, everything was acting, that was it. When I was starting out I didn’t have a life. You are considered a great Shakespearean actor, so I assume you put in the work and the practice…

But if you really want to do it, you’ve got to put in the work. I see young people, especially in acting, “I think I’d like to be an actor.” Okay, you ready to work? Yes, you have a winning personality, you’re attractive, you’re photogenic – great! You can make movies and make millions and gazillions of dollars if that’s what you want. You think there are rules – and there are some. Lord Byron said, “I doubt everything and deny nothing.” So, find your own way. We’re all just making it up as we go along and trying to figure it out. When you’re young you tend to think they know what they’re doing, but they don’t really know. The only thing I would say is the thing William Goldman said in his book about Hollywood – nobody knows anything. It’ll sound like I’m joking, but I’m serious: “Don’t listen to any advice from an older artist.” You sort of have to find your own way. Kline, if you could give your younger self any advice about the movie industry what would it be?
