Quote

I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

Shakespeare is universal.

I've been with Shakespeare all my life.

My life has included a study of Shakespeare and to me it's very natural, but I know that it's not always accessible to other people.

I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me.

It's extremely dangerous to compare anyone else to Shakespeare.

I've never really had a desire to do Shakespeare. For me, it's just too many lines.

You can find more traditional Shakespeare than we do. But what we want to bring to these works is energy, passion, freshness.

Shakespeare lets us see real people undergoing real processes, with real feelings.
