Shakespeare Quotes

People are always asking me to do Shakespeare - at home, at colleges, on film locations, in restaurants. It’s like playing a piece of music, getting all the notes. It’s great therapy Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare had found language for the agony of living with one’s own mistakes. There were words for finding yourself isolated with your failures. Phrases for discovering that you were wrong, all, all wrong, wrong, wrong Picture Quote #1

I believe kids shouldn’t be taught Shakespeare. They should experience it first by seeing a great production Picture Quote #1

I had great English teachers in high school who first piqued my interest in Shakespeare. Each year, we read a different play - ‘Othello,’ ‘Julius Caesar,’ ‘Macbeth,’ ‘Hamlet’ - and I was the nerd in class who would memorize soliloquies just for the fun of it Picture Quote #1

A fool, for example, thinks Shakespeare a great poet . . . yet the fool has never read Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

The founding father of Albanian literature is the nineteenth-century writer Naim Frasheri. Without having the greatness of Dante or Shakespeare, he is nonetheless the founder, the emblematic character. He wrote long epic poems, as well as lyrical poetry, to awaken the national consciousness of Albania Picture Quote #1

For a writer, personal freedom is not so important. It is not individual freedom that guarantees the greatness of literature; otherwise, writers in democratic countries would be superior to all others. Some of the greatest writers wrote under dictatorship - Shakespeare, Cervantes Picture Quote #1

It’s like saying French shouldn’t be taught because you don’t understand it because it’s new. Shakespeare is just like learning a new, exciting language Picture Quote #1

Why is the public so interested in movies about the wealthy? My answer is that Shakespeare wrote about kings. That’s where the action is. And it’s the classic, cathartic thing. You get to indulge in a lifestyle you’re not part of, a tragic error leads to a downfall, and you get to say, ‘Thank God I’m not him.’ Picture Quote #1

With Will Shakespeare writing your government’s propaganda, you can’t go wrong, can you? Picture Quote #1

I remember, after graduating high school, I got a part in a play with the Washington Shakespeare Festival - a little part. But I remember thinking this would be a great way of making a living... to be an actor. I never really thought I’d make a lot of money at it Picture Quote #1

After Shakespeare, Dickens is the great creator of characters, multiple characters Picture Quote #1

Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources - The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare.... The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare does a great job of taking 5,000-year-old stories and turning them into modern pieces that are true to the original essence but are completely remade Picture Quote #1

When I auditioned for drama college, they asked me to do my Shakespeare. I couldn’t do it. They asked me to do my modern, and I couldn’t do it. They asked me if I had a song prepared, and I said ‘No,’ so I sang ‘Happy Birthday.’ And I did a reasonable improvisation, a reasonable one, nothing special at all. I don’t know how I got in, but I did Picture Quote #1

I understand from my own work that haste makes waste. But I also understand that ... the creative spark dims, and then death puts it out. William Shakespeare, for instance, hasn’t produced a new play for 400 years. That, my friends, is a long dry spell Picture Quote #1

If Shakespeare had to go on an author tour to promote Romeo and Juliet, he never would have written Macbeth Picture Quote #1

I thought I’d begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine Picture Quote #1
