Famous quotes by Kenneth Branagh:

"DUCKTASTIC"

"This is a very exciting departure for me as a filmmaker,"

"play Woody."

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

"I think people half know it but don't know it, you know? I think when you see the whole thing, there's just such a slew of new things there. You see them in a different light."

"We wanted to do something that was a little closer to our own century and yet also was a world in which you could believe that people spoke in a slightly different way."

"My definition of success is control."

"Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports."

"I think the best actors are the most generous, the kindest, the greatest people and at their worst they are vain, greedy and insecure."

"I don't think Hamlet is mad, nor is he predisposed to be a gloomy or tragic figure."

"In the hands of a great poet, words have ways of affecting us in ways we don't understand."

"I did not make this a long film for its own sake. I wanted to make an entertaining film and offer it out there for those who want to see it. If word of mouth suggests there is an audience out there, hopefully their cinema will show it."

"The glory of 70mm is the sharpness of the image it offers."

"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."

"I like to cast actors I admire, one's that are talented. Each one will bring something new to the part. This play has been done thousands of times and now certain characters are too familiar."

"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."

"I think A Midsummer Night's Dream would be terrific because of the transformations that occur. Or The Tempest, things like that. Extraordinary larger than life or supernatural element."

"I do think that, for instance, we've been very lucky to have theatrical careers and be associated with Shakespeare which sometimes gives you a kind of bogus kudos."

"Variety is very, very good. Going from medium to medium, if you get the chance to do it, from theater to television to film, which are all distinctly different, keeps me sharp. What works in one doesn't work in the other, and you have to be looking for the truth of the performance, whatever way that medium might demand."
