Taking the humour out of Dickens, it's not Dickens any more.

I love Dickens. I love the way he sets a scene.

Dickens writes such brilliant characters and stories, and his themes and social commentary are still so relevant. I think that's why he's still so loved today.

I had a kind of Dickensian childhood.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.

I admire Dickens beyond words. He is one of the greatest plotters of all times. Didn't have a clue about women, but he sure could plot.

Dickens is a very underrated writer at the moment. Everyone in his time admired him but I think right now he's not spoken of enough.

We were put to Dickens as children but it never quite took. That unremitting humanity soon had me cheesed off.

The whole world knows Dickens, his London and his characters.

As a child, I was fascinated by the stories of Dickens acting out everything in front of the mirror as he wrote it down. Later, when you approach his work as an actor, you notice how sayable the dialogue is.
