The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Kenneth Branagh
- Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don’t get so worked up about things.
- I only really cast people who are desperate to be in it – who were dying to be in it, whose talent I believed in and were dead ready to do the work that was necessary.
- We’re self obsessed and mad and stupid – not that other people can’t be the same way – but the extremes are kind of honest in some mad way. Anyway, I like them.
- In Northern Ireland, I truly, effortlessly, knew who I was. I knew where I belonged. I felt completely and utterly secure.
- Shakespeare’s always on my dance card if it can be.
- I think that music is crucially important in Shakespeare – and, clearly, was an important part of the Elizabethan theatre. And, it’s always been something that was a profound element of the experience of Shakespeare that I have been drawn to – and interpreters have, as well.
- One of the problems with Shakespeare is that you can never give him a ring.
- 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.
- I am very much looking forward to new adventures – including, I hope, Broadway – sooner rather than later.
- I live in the English countryside, so I’m surrounded by magpies.
