Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green Picture Quote #1

In Shakespeare’s world, characters cannot trust their senses. Is the ghost in Hamlet true and truthful, or is it a demon, tempting young Hamlet into murderous sin? Is Juliet dead or merely sleeping? Does Lear really stand at the edge of a great cliff? Or has the Fool deceived him to save his life? Picture Quote #1

Born to play? Hmmm. Probably Romeo... or Hamlet, I guess. Also, I’d be a great Alexander the Great Picture Quote #1

You can’t automate in the arts. Since the sixteenth century there has been no change in the number of people necessary to produce Hamlet Picture Quote #1

I was very moved to see that the name of the boat was Hamlet - an imaginary character becomes so important to people, we think about them so much that we name a ship after them. The imaginary lives on in the real Picture Quote #1

Few areas which are not publicly owned can boast as many footpaths as the Cuckmere Valley. For a short walk, a footbridge across the river leads back to the little hamlet of Milton Street, where another classic local pub, the Sussex Ox, provides an admirable lunch Picture Quote #1

The trap in Hamlet is he’s the most passive of Shakespeare’s characters. He’s not a Richard III, not out there taking a lot of action. It’s a lot of asides and soliloquies where he’s wrapped in angst, and that’s not a very interesting character Picture Quote #1

I became an actress because I discovered the world of the imagination when I was about 14 or so and the concept that you could engage in this amazing world of storytelling. I saw a production of Hamlet, and I didn’t know Hamlet died in the end Picture Quote #1

You think back and you ask yourself why you became so interested in wolves. I think it was because when I was very small, growing up in a little hamlet near Shap, we would go to Lowther Wildlife Park for birthday parties. Now closed, it was only three miles from my parents’ house Picture Quote #1

The playbill, which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out Picture Quote #1

The only way to find the best actor would be to let everybody play Hamlet and let the best man win Picture Quote #1

Born to play? Hmmm. Probably Romeo... or Hamlet, I guess. Also, I’d be a great Alexander the Great Picture Quote #1

I got into this thing called the National Youth Theatre, and to me, that was all about the status quo. It seemed to me like ‘Downton Abbey’ - all the working-class and black people were playing servants, or the gravedigger in ‘Hamlet,’ and the boys from Eton and posh private schools got Hamlet, all the big roles Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It makes you a better person to know where you came from, because whereever you go, there is somebody in some town, city, hamlet, whatever, that has the same dreams you have Picture Quote #1

Hamlet, that’s the only role there is, finally. The only role. After that, you settle down and only do the fun things on stage Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying that Sam J. Jones was Flash Gordon - there’s no such thing. No actor can be the person, that’s a bunch of crap. People pay to see an actor be himself, whether he plays Hamlet or whatever Picture Quote #1

Five billion people have played Hamlet. ‘To be or not to be.’ And how do you do that and find your way into your own journey, your own way of telling it? Picture Quote #1

There is a kitsch of death. For example, death transformed into sweet sleep: The ‘good night, sweet prince’ of the last scene of Hamlet Picture Quote #1

I look at it like this: that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would have written two or three plays about the Kennedy family, and actors would traditionally play JFK like they Hamlet or King Lear. They just would. I mean, people have played JFK, and they’ll play him long after I have Picture Quote #1

Hamlet and Victor Frankenstein are each obsessed with death. Hamlet’s whole story is a philosophical preparation for death; Victor’s is an intellectual refusal to accept it Picture Quote #1

Some people consider the way Shakespeare was writing about Ophelia as erotomania-that she was delusional in thinking that Hamlet was in love with her. But I don’t think so Picture Quote #1

It seemed to us that all people to a greater or lesser degree belong to one of these two types, that almost every one of us resembles either Don Quixote or Hamlet Picture Quote #1

When you are at the right age to play Hamlet you are still to young and immature to play it. It is much later, when you get the life experience and the emotional power, that you understand Hamlet or Macbeth Picture Quote #1
