Nothing Brings You Closer Together Than Blind

The English People, A Lot Of Them, Would Not Be Able To Understand A Word Of Spoken Shakespeare. There Are People Who Do And I'm Not Denying They Exist. But It's A Far More Philistine Country Than People Think.

I Do Also Think It Eludes Genre A Bit - Not In Any Groundbreaking Way But You Can't Quite Call It A Comedy And You Can't Quite Call It A Romantic Anything. It's Not Quite A Drama Either Really. But It Has Elements Of All Those Things.

I Can't Bring You Absolute Truth In The Detailed Factual Sense. All I Can Do Is Bring You An Interpretation As I Understand It. That's All You Can Ever Get From An Actor.

I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For The Craft, I Don't Know How Much Respect It Has For Me. But It's A Precision Process. Doing It On Stage Would Be, I Think, Terrifying.

You Might Have A Run Through And Get A Few Chuckles At Eight O'clock In The Morning, But You Don't Keep Laughing At The Same Thing All Day Long.

I Can Actually Get Involved In Getting Stories Off The Ground That No One Would Ask Me To Be In Because I'm The Wrong Age, The Wrong Sex, The Wrong Nationality, Or Whatever. I've Found It Quite Exhilarating To Have That Freedom To Tell The Stories That Aren't Just About Middle-aged White English Guys.
