United Airlines and Ink Publishing have launched a monthly, luxury lifestyle and literary magazine named Rhapsody exclusively for United's premium-cabin customers and visitors to the airline's United Clubs and United Global First lounges. Rhapsody will offer an authoritative look at the latest personalities and trends that define affluent living and thought in the 21st century.
The debut issue of Rhapsody features a rare, in-depth profile of Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline, currently in movie theaters in the hit "Last Vegas," in which he stars with Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas.
Kline speaks candidly about smoking, gambling, and his favorite and not-so-favorite roles.
Below are just a few highlights from the article:
On his two major vices: “You know, I smoke cigarettes occasionally. And I curse sometimes, use bad words.”
On his worst films: “Once or twice I’ve seen the movies and thought, ‘This was exactly what I thought it would be when we made it. This is crap. I knew it was crap.’”
On retirement: “A lot of people retire too early. They’re forced to retire or they decide to retire. But unless they have really vital things that they love to do, it’s terrible.”
On watching The Big Chill for the first time: “When they screened it for me and Glenn [Close], I just remember we thought, ‘It’s a great movie to dance to.’”
On acting in The Ice Storm: “The most expressive, eloquent gesture, posture or speech can be where you’re saying nothing.”
On Last Vegas: “[the movie] is about growing up and all the adjustments we have to make, the accommodations and compromises. And the degradations of our physical entropy at work—just trying to reconcile that. You wake up one day and think, ‘Not that. Not my knees. My knees are giving out?’ There are these rude awakenings.”
