Good work is good work wherever it's done, in a play, a motion picture or television, and that includes commercials.

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.

Doing Shakespeare certainly makes you a better actor.

Anything well written with good language and clarity and honesty is worth doing. It comes out of the same tradition as Shakespeare.

With Shakespeare, because you invest so much time in working on material, it always sort of stays with you to some degree.

Shakespeare is rich and beautiful, and it can be an amazing experience to read and to watch and to work on.

Shakespeare language is fantastic, and to be honest, you don't need to do anything to Shakespeare.

If you got what it takes, you'll make it. If you don't, Shakespeare couldn't help you.

I had been in a Shakespeare company for three years and done a lot of Shakespeare. That was fun. That was interesting.

It might be thematic work. It might be theatrical. I enjoy that kind of work.
