"You could say Shakespeare is so extraordinary precisely because he was so ordinary. He had all the usual anxieties and understandings of what it is to have children, lose children, get married, struggle to make a living and so on."

"Everything that we have gone through, are going through, and will go through is there in Shakespeare. It is all of human life."

"Many actors have protested about mobile phones going off in theatres, but the real menace now is people texting during a show. It may only disturb a few people around them, but for me, as an actor, when I spot them answering their emails, I am outraged." - Simon Callow (English actor, musician, writer and director)
