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.

"One feels at this point, literally overjoyed & a bit overwhelmed, and I heard the news standing on a hillside in Guernsey with the wind blowing & spray in my face trying to work out how to come up with a location and a shot for what we hope is the next film I direct. Then the phone rang, with the miracles of modern technology, and it seems like a very good omen for the movie. So, it’s a lovely moment." — Ken on receiving his Oscar nomination (x)
