Are men and women different creatures? Do we feel things differently? Being a man, I can’t know what a woman feels. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
I want to be engaged and moved by theatre, there’s nothing more disappointing than being left cold. After ‘The Author,’ I felt wrung out emotionally, like a used tissue. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
I guess I’ve grown to admire Queen Elizabeth II more. I’ve always struggled with my feelings about the Royal Family. I am a supporter. I’m not someone who thinks we should get rid of them. But what I’ve struggled with is the lack of emotionality that the Queen seems to share. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
In New York, I get people coming up to me because ‘The History Boys’ was such a hit on Broadway, and they show the film all the time on cable over there, so people recognise you. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
With Millais’s paintings, it’s microscopic; when he does hair, it’s extraordinary: you can see every strand. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
I really admire paintings that look like an actual snapshot – I think that’s just extraordinary. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
I like all sorts of art, that’s why I love wandering around The National Gallery. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
I hope it’s always going to be a mix between theatre, film and radio. I’ve been very lucky living in London that you can do all that – in New York and L.A., there’s more of a structure for film in L.A. and theatre in New York. In London, our industry is smaller, but it produces brilliant work all in one place. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
My life, my family and my friends are back in the U.K., so ideally I would love the kind of career that is split between London and New York. Samuel Barnett Read Quote
Journalists have sometimes looked to my Twitter account and quoted me from there, and that’s fine because that’s public domain. I know exactly what I’m doing when I post something on Twitter; in a way, it’s saying, ‘This is who I am, and I don’t have anything to hide.’ Samuel Barnett Read Quote
