That`s the hard thing about adapting a book that`s so well loved. It`s like playing Hamlet. The audience doesn`t buy it, because they`re Hamlet. How could you possibly be Hamlet when Hamlet is them? It`s one of those difficult things where a good writer g...

Marlon wanted me to escape movies for a while - `Take a year off. Go on. Study Shakespeare.` So it`s one of the things that keep ricocheting around in my head. He told me that by the time he had got to the point where he felt he could do Hamlet, it was to...

I`m often given parts that aren`t as big as they are colorful, but people remember them. When it`s a minor or supporting role, you learn to make the most of what you`re given. I can make two lines seem like `Hamlet`.
Denholm Elliott
[quoted by Robert Osborne in "Academy Awards 1974 Oscar Annual"] I couldn`t exist just doing films. But on the other hand, there is the fame that comes with it, and the money. My problem is I still want to play Hamlet in some little theater somewhere, and...

Besides `Next Generation,` I would have to say that most of my other favorite things that I`ve done have been theater projects. Playing Ophelia in Hamlet" is one of my favorites. Esmeralda in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and Magenta in "Rocky Horror" are...

I don`t make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you`re a good comedian, you`re never going to be able to play Hamlet properly.

About riding: "Happily, when I`m working, I often seem to get jobs that give me the opportunity to ride - in Vanity Fair, Hamlet and Far from the Madding Crowd, for example. It is rather nice to do something I like and get paid for it. I have a quarter of...

I`m going to Stratford next year [2009] to play Claudius in `Hamlet,` knowing that I shall never be asked to give my Hamlet. I`ve done bits of it in recital, but I never played Hamlet, I never played Romeo, I never played Orlando, I never played Benedick....

When I first started acting, and we would all sit down and talk about Shakespeare and how great it was, I thought well, I suppose it is. It is if you get to play Macbeth or Hamlet. But who wants to play bloody Lady Macbeth or Ophelia? And it struck me tha...

Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. Hamlet does not scan as Hamletta. Nor does Han Solo as Han Sally. Faceman is not the same as Facewoman. Nor does a Stardoe a Starbuck make. Men hand out cigars. Women `hand out` babies. And thus the world, for thou...
Dirk Benedict
I`ve done Hamlet, and no one talks about Hamlet killing five people. No one even talks about sending him to jail. And it`s the same thing for a character like Abruzzi. I think people root for him because he`s just punishing people who are bad humans in a ...

The thing that I had saved up for myself and wanted most to bring off was a fully fledged professional production of Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Theater in Stratford.
Trevor Nunn
One of the things that makes Hamlet unique among Shakespeare`s characters is his courage to face up to the darker elements of his personality.
Kenneth Branagh
I ask myself more questions than Hamlet as I ponder which shoes to wear.
