There have been more books alone written about Hamlet than have been written about the Bible.

But I find with Francis Bacon, some of the things were in the place, and someone who was connected with these schools of thought, and someone who had a motivation that equals the scope of the comedy and the tragedy in the plays.

And people do enjoy the plays at completely different levels. And, likewise, they enjoy the authorship question... at completely different levels.

I think I find it easier to live on the stage than in life.

Great actors try to dismiss all ideas from their conscious mind in order to provide an experience that is real.

You know, I don't think you need to be educated to be a great actor.

Our job is to make manifest the story, to be it. In a sense, the theatre is such a big star itself, bigger than any Shakespearean actor I could hire, that we should take the opportunity to fill it with voice and verse and movement, not interpretation.
