I've been with Shakespeare all my life.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.

I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

I was that weird eight-year-old who was really interested in Shakespeare and understood it and appreciated the language.

I had great English teachers in high school who first piqued my interest in Shakespeare. Each year, we read a different play - 'Othello,' 'Julius Caesar,' 'Macbeth,' 'Hamlet' - and I was the nerd in class who would memorize soliloquies just for the fun of it.

Before acting, I was always attracted to words, to literature - be they the words of Williams, Arthur Miller, Shakespeare or Moliere.

I grew up reading Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.

I love Shakespeare and the Greeks - learned a lot studying them at one time.

Shakespeare fascinated me. He hardly ever left the country. His imagination was worldwide though reading.
