I was not a studious kid, and I struggled to find things that would command my attention and engage my ideas and energies.

A couple of clues came my way of what I might be getting myself into when I sat down with a number of actors who had played Richard III in the past. And I was hoping of course, that one of them or all of them were gonna give me the magic key, the secret way in to play Richard III but none of them did that.But every one of them did say the following, "Be careful."

Kids arent growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.

People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.

I just want it to be better, I just want to be better, but this is very encouraging.

Its extremely dangerous to compare anyone else to Shakespeare.

I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.
