The merciless Macdonald (Worthy to be a rebel, — for, to that, The multiplying villainies of nature Do swarm upon him) from the Western Isles Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied; And Fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Showed like a rebel's whore: but all's too weak: For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name) Disdaining Fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion, Carv'd out his passage. ↗

— William Shakespeare

I'm just having a wonderful time. It's an interesting thing that I'm very comfortable with this material and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I did MacBeth. ↗

I'd make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something. ↗

The only still center of my life is Macbeth. To go back to doing this bloody, crazed, insane mass-murderer is a huge relief after trying to get my cell phone replaced. ↗

Macbeth is a very popular play with audiences. If you want to sell out a theater, just mount a production of Macbeth. It's a short play, it's an exciting play, it's easy to understand, and it attracts great acting. ↗

I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other. ↗

Życie jest jedynie przelotnym cieniem; żałosnym aktorem, co przez godzinę puszy się i miota na scenie, po czym znika; opowieścią idioty, pełną wrzasku i wściekłości, a nie znaczącą nic. ↗

— William Shakespeare

If you think about Shakespeare, you remember Richard III and Macbeth before you remember Ferdinand, whose role is just to fall in love and be a bit of a wimp. I love the baddies. More important, though, is making the baddies somehow, weirdly, understood. ↗
