I think Hamlet, as much as he loves his privacy and is kind of an introvert, he's a very functional introvert. When he has to be out, he can be out with people.

All good writers across the board, if they're dealing with real tragedy, they will give you comedy in it. And if they're dealing with real comedy, there will be tragic moments in it.

You don't really audition for Hamlet; Hamlet is one of those roles that a director or producer decides you should do it.

I'm going to be criticized by lots of "scholars," but I think Shakespeare's best comedy often appears in his tragedies, actually. Not necessarily in his comedies.

I think Hamlet, as much as he loves his privacy and is kind of an introvert, he's a very functional introvert. When he has to be out, he can be out with people.

To work around and be successful in a round configuration in the theater, you have to connect with everyone.

I think Hamlet is a very funny play - Hamlet is riddled with wit.
