I think Hamlet, as much as he loves his privacy and is kind of an introvert, he's a very functional introvert. When he has to be out, he can be out with people.

My parents were very traditional Nigerians who wanted doctor, lawyer, teacher [children], but when I actually had a dream and I presented the dream to them, they were 100 percent supportive.

I loved sports, so acting died and it was all sport. But I always used to get in trouble, because after lights out I would sneak out to watch things on TV.

To work around and be successful in a round configuration in the theater, you have to connect with everyone.

I think part of the sadness of Hamlet is given different circumstances, this guy had the capability of being something really great and not ending up poisoned on the ground.

I think Hamlet is a very funny play - Hamlet is riddled with wit.

You don't really audition for Hamlet; Hamlet is one of those roles that a director or producer decides you should do it.

I'm going to be criticized by lots of "scholars," but I think Shakespeare's best comedy often appears in his tragedies, actually. Not necessarily in his comedies.

When you seek love in every steps of life, love will seek you every moment of life.

All happy families resemble one another every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

After 'Wedding Crashers' I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is. So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for myself.

I never felt I belonged. I was always an outsider.

If you go to Heaven without being naturally qualified for it you will not enjoy yourself there.

It's my experience that very few writers, young or old, are really seeking advice when they give out their work to be read. They want support; they want someone to say, "Good job."

In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

The highway of life was littered with the roadkill of those who didn't know when to change lanes.

We have to make their livelihoods viable, get them the proper prices for their produce, try and make them stay rather than sell their property and leave again.
