To be or not to be...

"...poor Ophelia
divided from herself and her fair judgement,
Without the which we are pictures or mere beasts;..."

- Cladius in Hamlet
Act IV, Sc. V

I love this quote. Isn't it true? And it's really so easy for women to be divided within themselves... between sanity and insanity, reality and dreams. It doesn't mean we are the frailer of the species, though. I think it just means we're more connected to another world than men are. Sorry guys.

I love a good quote, actually. I'm such a sucker for them... especially when they're Shakespeare. I got this little tidbit while watching the Royal Shakespeare Company's performance of Hamlet on DVD. I got it through Netflix and I kept it long enough to watch the movie twice. (That's a three hour production! Indeed, I LOVED it!)

There's something about Shakespeare that I just love and, since I like to consider myself an actor of some sort, creative in mind, body, and spirit, there is absolutely nothing about the Bard that I'm afraid of. I would LOVE... repeat that LOVE to do a Shakespeare play or festival or show or whatever!

I'm such a nerd.

But, seriously, for those of you Shakespeare nuts out there, this movie is awesome. I mean, it IS the Royal Shakespeare Company for pete's sakes and it IS both Patrick Stewart and David Tennant. Apparently, Jude Law (who played Hamlet in another production) made some snide comment about David Tennant's Hamlet on a talk show. I don't even think he knew Tennant's NAME. I think, if I would have been in the audience, I would have been like "It's David Tennant you asshole!"

Yea, I love Jude Law, but seriously... don't mess with Doctor Who man. He will mess you up with his sonic screwdriver.

That sounds kinda dirty... not meant to, though.

ANYWAY... I've noticed that a LOT of my blog posts lately have been about things that I love like television shows and words and now quotes. Maybe I should make that something I do on a weekly basis... you know, mention something new that I love. Fun no?

In the meantime, watch Tennant in the clip from Hamlet. Then decided whether or not Jude Law is full of beans... I think he is.
