We'd all like to believe that perhaps people could stop killing each other.

I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

Having gone through editing process, I can see that in actor's faces there's point where they're not managing their performance and that's, I think, the best place to be. You've done the homework, you've learned the lines, at that point you just sort of let it out.

People fear they won’t get what they want.

In Shakespeare, keep it simple. Don't over-inflect. The speech needs to be naturalistic and simple and accessible as much as possible.

And although I've been very fortunate in the film work that's come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I'm away for a maximum of two years, I feel something's wrong.

I loved doing Harry Potter. I had a great time on that. And I think it's good to have a mix. I think you're learning all the time.
