I had always wanted to retell a Shakespeare play. It was an ambition from college days. But in order to be able to do it... the circumstances in my life didn't come together for a long time.

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

Shakespeare is the happy hunting ground of all minds that have lost their balance.

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

Tales of power and ambition and intrigue and betrayal and desire - when you're telling those in a big way, you automatically want to go to Shakespeare.

Anything one can do to provoke and inspire an interest in the works of Shakespeare in a young audience is fair game. Anything.

I always ended up having the funny part in Shakespeare, but I really thought I'd be doing theater. That was my ambition for myself.

Someday I'd love to do Shakespeare.
