If Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing sitcoms.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Someday I'd love to do Shakespeare.
Shakespeare would never have gone far in today's politically correct world.
One of things I'd love to do one day is a Shakespeare with Trevor Nunn. I've done musicals with him, but never Shakespeare. There's no one better.
I'll bet Shakespeare compromised himself a lot; anybody who's in the entertainment industry does to some extent.
The reason there's no modern-day Shakespeare is because he didn't have anything to do except sit in a room with a candle and think.
I wanted to play a TV detective because it's a rite of passage; I wanted to experience every area of acting. I haven't done comedy or as much Shakespeare as I had intended.
I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.
For me, if Shakespeare was around today, he'd be writing screenplays - a big Hollywood movie.
I'd like to be for cinema what Shakespeare was for theatre, Marx for politics and Freud for psychology: someone after whom nothing is as it used to be.
I've been with Shakespeare all my life.
