I feel more Irish than English. I feel freer than British, more visceral, with a love of language. Shot through with fire in some way. That's why I resist being appropriated as the current repository of Shakespeare on the planet. That would mean I'm part of the English cultural elite, and I am utterly ill-fitted to be.

Anonymous whispered, "You acted your heart out in "The Proposition". You were very good in a movie that needed another script and another editor and a makeup person who could keep your beard red from scene to scene. Did you do it just for money, because surely you could see everything that was wrong with it?"

I am not Kenneth Branagh.
