I think American actors are much more intimidated by Shakespeare. I actually want to do this Shakespeare play in New York, but I think it's interesting that there's this gaping hole in the repertoire in the American theater, which is Shakespeare.

And he said, "Yes, we're not very good at it." And I thought, "What a terrible thing to say.".
