Its extremely dangerous to compare anyone else to Shakespeare.

If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.

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

The story is everything, which means it's our job to tell better stories.

I want to bring theatre to a new generation, using the tools available to us, including taking it out to them on film and with new technology, but that is just so they can discover theatre. I want them to come in and sit in a theatre. This is the way to plant seeds.

I never doubted at all. If you ever doubt then you are in trouble. I never thought: 'I should do this or that in case I don't make it.' I never had a back-up plan.

We're all victims of our own hubris at times.
