Every time I do a movie like 'Finding Neverland' or 'Chocolat' or 'Shakespeare' in Love ' we deal with the creative process but there's humor and fun along the way. I always love that kind of movie.

In the theatre people talk. Talk talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.

Be as a tower firmly set Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.

I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like why they said all the strange things they did.

More is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. More is required. We must hold ourselves strictly accountable. We must provide the people with a vision of the future.

Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.

In approaching our subject it will be best without attempting to shorten the path by referring to famous theories of the drama to start directly from the facts and to collect from them gradually an idea of Shakespearean Tragedy.

I'm fascinated by failure and I'm fascinated by finality. Shakespeare's historical plays are more universal than his comedies because they relate to the finality of life. Without finality life would not be beautiful.
