I'm on the list that I thought I'd never be on. I'm not sitting here thinking, 'God, I might get this part' or 'is it too late for me to play Hamlet?' It's really about: who do I get to work with? There's so many people on that list.
Hamlet is an astonishing intelligence.
You'd never play Hamlet if you started worrying about who's played it before you.
