We become lovers when we see Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet makes us students. The blood of Duncan is upon our hands, with Timon werage against the world, and when Lear wanders out upon the heath the terror of madness touches us. Ours is the white sinlessness of Desdemona, and ours, also, the sin of Iago.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I have full cause of weeping, but this heart shall break into a hundred thousand flaws or ere I'll weep.
William Shakespeare
Image
The rain, it raineth every day.
William Shakespeare

What I do is interpret, not create. I may add elements and do something different. That is what is so incredible about theatre. Why do we love it that there are nine Hamletsor six King Lears over two years? We love to watch a different actor attack the same material.

The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young Shall never see so much, nor live so long.
William Shakespeare

I have three daughters and I find as a result I played King Lear almost without rehearsal.
Peter Ustinov

I've been lucky to get some path-breaking films, which proved to be the turning point in my career. Be it 'Rock on!' 'The Last Lear' or 'Raajneeti,' directors started working in a different way.

In the United States...politics is purged of all menace, all sinister quality, all genuine significance, and stuffed with such gorgeous humors, such inordinate farce that one comes to the end of a campaign with one's ribs loose, and ready for King Lear, or a hanging, or a course of medical journals.
H. L. Mencken

I want to keel over on stage playing King Lear at age 99 or something like that.

How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

Bush has not read enough books to have a developed moral sense. The fewer books you read, the easier it is to become fundamental. In some ways my antiwar stand here is also a stand on anti-literacy. Someone should get G.W. into a reading program, get him to join a book club. Have him read Hamlet, King Lear.
Sherman Alexie

What is your name? asked Lear. Caius, said Kent. And whence do you hail? From Bonking, sire. Well, yes, lad, as do we all, said Lear, but from what town?
Christopher Moore

O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven keep me in temper I would not be mad!
William Shakespeare

I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or Hamlets.
Roger Moore
Image
I think I have a finely tuned sense of humor. I think just being around it and growing up in it... my dad and Mel Brooks and Norman Lear. These are the people I grew up around.
Rob Reiner

You are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in your face.
William Shakespeare
Image
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man, As full of grief as age wretched in both.
William Shakespeare

Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave My heart into my mouth.
William Shakespeare

The best of life is the exercise of ingenuity-in design, in finance, in flying, in business.
Bill Lear

When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.

All's well that ends well.
John Heywood

The owl and the pussycat went to sea, / In a beautiful pea green boat. / They took some honey, and plenty of money, / Wrapped up in a five pound note.
Edward Lear

Directing Skyfall was one of the best experiences of my professional life, but I have theatre and other commitments, including productions of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and King Lear, that need my complete focus over the next year and beyond.
Sam Mendes

Allow not nature more than nature needs.
