The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. pull down thy vanity, it is not man made courage, or made order, or made grace, pull down thy vanity, i say pull down. learn of the green world what can be thy place in scaled invention or true artistry, pull down thy vanity, paquin pull down! the green casque has outdone your elegance.

When i was doing shakespeare and i had spent a lot of time and effort in trying to become a great shakespearean actress. that was how i started my career, was in the theater doing shakespeare. and my ambition was to be a great classical actress. that was what i wanted more than anything. so, i really pursued that in the first four years of my career. and it was an uphill struggle. it really was. shakespeare's difficult and shakespeare in a big theater is even more difficult. so, anyway, it was a struggle for me.
Struggle Ambition Effort
All the unimaginative assholes in the world who imagine that shakespeare couldn't have written shakespeare because it was impossible from what we know about shakespeare of stratford that such a man would have had the experience to imagine such things - well, this denies the very thing that separates shakespeare from almost every other writer in the world: an imagination that is untouchable and nonstop.

I had been in a shakespeare company for three years and done a lot of shakespeare. that was fun. that was interesting. it was a lot of work - anything other than shakespeare was less work. i had a lot of interesting roles, but i don't point to them and say, "that was more interesting than that," because i don't know what the criteria are.

A few times in my life i've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and i can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. and the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. i can never make these moments last. i cling to them, but like everything, they fade. i have lived my life on these moments. they pull me back to the present, and i realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.
