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.

I've been with Shakespeare all my life.

I've played Hamlet and Coriolanus, Orlando in 'As You like It' and Ariel in 'Tempest,' among others.

Doing Shakespeare in the Park has always been a dream. Everyone else says Hamlet, but I want to play Romeo.

I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.

I had been in a Shakespeare company for three years and done a lot of Shakespeare. That was fun. That was interesting.

I grew up with Shakespeare, and there are so many wonderful teachings in those plays. The stories are all so unique and timeless. There is just so much learning in that body of work, and that is something I will always go back to.

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

Shakespeare is where I live. I adore him.
