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.

Kenneth Charles Branagh; AKA Ken, Kenny, KenBran; EST 10th December 1960, Belfast

Actor, writer, director, producer, winner of hearts, wearer of unusual facial hair, theatre company founder, interpreter of universal stories, player of guitar and piano, tap dancer, rocker of grey hair. Just a bit of a great bloke, really.

"You are quoting it everyday and people don’t understand it. If you have ever been more sinned against than sinning, then you are quoting Shakespeare. If you have ever played fast and loose, then you are quoting Shakespeare. If you have ever been tongue-tied, if you have ever been hoodwinked or in a pickle, you are quoting Shakespeare. If you have ever knitted your brows or insisted on fair play or stood ceremony or laughed yourself into stitches or even had to much of a good thing, you are quoting Shakespeare. If, in fact, you think it’s high time, et cetera, et cetera." — Kenneth Branagh in an interview with Mark Kermode (via inwhichidigress)
