Shakespeare Quotes

I’m a huge Dirty Dancing fan. I feel like I should be reading [William] Shakespeare, but I’m watching Baby not be in a corner Picture Quote #1

I’ve never done anything for money. My first love is things of limited commercial appeal. I could be happy doing Shakespeare for the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

I had the training at drama school where I studied Shakespeare and Brecht and Chekov and all these period historical playwrights and I think that I responded to the material Picture Quote #1

It is difficult to know how the Tudors actually spoke because we’re going back before Shakespeare; much of the drama from that period is courtly, allegorical Picture Quote #1

I went to drama school. I’m classically trained; I studied Shakespeare, blah blah blah. But I always preferred to do Oscar Wilde, or Shakespeare’s comedies over his dramas Picture Quote #1

There’s a specificity of language that’s required in Shakespeare that most drama students in England deal with - a specificity of language that is somehow not as clear in a lot of American schools Picture Quote #1

I went to Yale’s drama school for theater, so we did tons of Shakespeare; then, I got out of school and said, ‘OK, it will be Shakespeare,’ and it was like, ‘Or, it will be commercials and soaps.’ Picture Quote #1

Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories Picture Quote #1

Doing Shakespeare in the Park has always been a dream. Everyone else says Hamlet, but I want to play Romeo Picture Quote #1

When I was prepping for my Broadway debut as Romeo, it really hit me that I had never done that. I had trained at drama school for three years in my late teens to early 20s, and I’d studied Shakespeare, of course, but I hadn’t actually performed it. So to do something like Romeo for my first Broadway role was a challenge Picture Quote #1

I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That’s what I call a liberal education Picture Quote #1

All of my education at Harvard, then Oxford, then Paris was in literature - even my thesis was on Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

From the early days of the Raj, Shakespeare had been woven into the fabric of India’s education, and my father understood that in a culture rich with storytelling and fantastical tales, Shakespeare’s characters and storylines resonated in a powerful way Picture Quote #1

All theatre has truth, from Theatre in Education to panto to Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

If you know your Bible and your Shakespeare and can shoot craps, you have a liberal education Picture Quote #1

I enjoy all forms of writing, but playwrighting is what made me what I am. Not only working with the ghosts of Chekhov and Ibsen and Shakespeare, but what it is to be a playwright, to be interacting with human beings in the live theater and affect people on such a direct, emotional level Picture Quote #1

I loved reading when I was young. I was just completely taken by stories. And I remember taking that into English literature at school and taking that into Shakespeare and finding that opened up a whole world of self-expression to me that I didn’t have access to previously Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare I love, but for an English graduate, I’m incredibly badly read Picture Quote #1

The way Shakespeare wrote Fallstaff is with a heightened language and everything. That’s the genuis of having Ken Branagh here as well. Shakespeare doesn’t require you to have a doctorate in his language or whatever to understand him. It just has to be directed and played right. It’s all about scale and presence and getting these huge, epic stories across Picture Quote #1

Everyone feels loss and love and laughter. That’s what connects humanity. It’s why I love Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

When I read ‘Paradise Lost,’ or ‘Richard III,’ it is clear that Milton and Shakespeare took real pleasure and satisfaction from creating these epitomes of evil Picture Quote #1

I look at it like this: that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would have written two or three plays about the Kennedy family, and actors would traditionally play JFK like they Hamlet or King Lear. They just would. I mean, people have played JFK, and they’ll play him long after I have Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare is one of the reasons I’ve stayed an actor. Sometimes I spend full days doing Shakespeare by myself, just for the joy of reading it, saying those words... I do Shakespeare when I am feeling a certain way Picture Quote #1
