I'm constantly intimidated by Shakespeare's work. Trying to decipher what he's saying and holding on to that thought - not just as an actor, but as a human being - is a rigour.

I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.

I'm a fool for a good role in a creative piece where there are really such talented writers and wonderful actors.

I've never been that keen on Shakespeare.

In a drama, you don't make a fool of yourself.

I try to be unafraid of making a fool of myself.

I've been with Shakespeare all my life.

You can fool a lot of yourself but you can't fool the soul.

I'm not in the Shakespeare stakes. I have no ambition.
