"No one is ever held as an example of goodness or badness in Shakespeare; He presents . . . a philosophy of wondering at the world without looking for easy answers, looking for some other easy way out. He shows us that there is none, but that you can laugh just the same. —Sir Ian McKellen, interviewed in the LA Times, December 3, 1983"
