It’s incredibly moving to hear some of our greatest actors performing Shakespeare.

It was good to learn so early. They’re not going to be kind to you. You have to do it and get on, and then gulp down and get better.

In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me.

I have no control over a film. I don’t know what will be left on the cutting floor.
