Hamlet Is An Astonishing Intelligence.

I Told Myself That I Would Not Go Back To The Camps As An Actor Ever Again, That I Was Very Frightened Of Wearing A Yellow Star. It Was Fear, It Was Cowardice, I Was.

Shakespeare Villains Were Extraordinary. Macbeth, Iago, Richard Iii... They're So Richly Layered That A British Actor Would Find It Almost Impossible To Create A Two-dimensional Villain, If He's Explored In His Early Years Or Continues To Explore His Shakespearean Heritage. You Can Almost Not Judge Them, If They're Played Really Well.

There Have Not Been Any Troughs As Regards My Work. There's Never Been A Trough Of My Assurance.
