I think Shakespeare, at his heart, was just the way all of us are that make movies: He wanted to entertain people.

What we do is entertainment. We entertain people. Sometimes we inspire people, but sometimes we are just a way to fill their time.

I don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.

A lot of people say to me, 'Is this good, to do to a Shakespeare piece?' And I think, 'You know, 'West Side Story' did it very cleverly, in a different way.' But if you look at 'Bonnie and Clyde,' 'Titanic,' 'Avatar,' 'Grease,' 'Brokeback Mountain'... they're all 'Romeo and Juliet' stories.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a clown. I didn't want to be an actor, I wanted to join the circus and entertain people.

I'm not motivated to entertain people through Twitter, so just by having Twitter and not saying anything, I make people mad.
