I wasn't always such a great fan of Shakespeare, mind you. I can guess we all at one time had it rammed down our necks at school, which tends to take the edge off it.

More quotes by Christopher Eccleston
I heard the various terms of abuse at school and probably indulged them in the way you do as a kid.
Christopher Eccleston
I loved playing [the Doctor], and taking part in the basic essence and message of the series which is, it's a short life, seize it, and live it as fully as you can. Care for others. Be respectful of all other life forms, regardless of colour or creed. To be part of that was fantastic.
Christopher Eccleston
I think the themes of belonging and parentage and love are obviously universal.
Christopher Eccleston
I went being unemployed for three years to being the lead in a British feature in the days when we only made two a year, 1990. It was ridiculous really.
Christopher Eccleston
I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.
Christopher Eccleston
I care more about telly because it made me an actor and there's a much more immediate response to TV. You can address the political or cultural fabric of your country.
Christopher Eccleston
I had to help to coax the performances and I really enjoyed that extra responsibility.
Christopher Eccleston
Rather than disliking theatre, I've expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre.
Christopher Eccleston
The money is better in films and television. But in terms of acting, theatre is more rewarding.
Christopher Eccleston
We like to think that our parents made a decision to bring us into the world.
Christopher Eccleston
Twelve years on sets watching directors, I've taken a bit from everybody and rejected a lot.
Christopher Eccleston
On The Others, very atmospheric and probably mysterious is how I would say it felt to be on the set. It felt just a little uneasy, the atmosphere that we were trying to capture.
Christopher Eccleston
I know exactly where I've come from, I know exactly who my mum and dad are.
Christopher Eccleston
I only ever worked on interiors, and an interior is an interior. I don't know what they did about exteriors.
Christopher Eccleston
Many times I've sat with a camera and another actor and seen all their fears and insecurities and struggles. You want to support them and help them as much as you can.
Christopher Eccleston
Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.
Christopher Eccleston
I've never been up with the times, always been slightly out of step.
Christopher Eccleston
When you seek revenge, be sure to dig two graves.
Christopher Eccleston
I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.
Christopher Eccleston
I want to direct but I think I'd be bloody awful and I don't want to produce but I think I'd be a very good producer because if I believed in something I'd be able to protect it.
Christopher Eccleston
