You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game.

The rules of drama are very much separate from the properties of life. I think that's especially true of Shakespeare.

I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?

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

I think I've always been somebody to break rules.

You are remembered for the rules you break.

I will not allow people to impose rules on me that don't make sense to me. And I live and work very much outside the literary world and the literary system. What they think and what they believe and what their rules are mean nothing to me.

I am not much about rules, I like to break 'em and don't like to make 'em.
