"Actors are the best and the worst of people. They're like kids. When they're good, they're very very good. When they're bad they're very very naughty."
People
"I like to cast actors I admire, one's that are talented. Each one will bring something new to the part. This play has been done thousands of times and now certain characters are too familiar."
Actor
"I certainly have been guilty of trying to sweep things under the carpet."
Trying
"I only really cast people who are desperate to be in it - who were dying to be in it, whose talent I believed in and were dead ready to do the work that was necessary."
Work

Actor

"We're self obsessed and mad and stupid - not that other people can't be the same way - but the extremes are kind of honest in some mad way. Anyway, I like them."
People
"I think A Midsummer Night's Dream would be terrific because of the transformations that occur. Or The Tempest, things like that. Extraordinary larger than life or supernatural element."
Life
"I think the best actors are the most generous, the kindest, the greatest people and at their worst they are vain, greedy and insecure."
People
"There is some mysterious thing that goes on whereby, in the process of playing Shakespeare continuously, actors are surprised by the way the language actually acts on them."
