Brillant / Brilliantly Exzenter / Eccentric Gemacht / Made Genannt / Named Genius Jeremy Mir / Me Schriftsteller / Writer Shakespeare Unterrichtet / Taught Wer / Who Wollen / Want
Shakespeare's taught me that there are more words in the English language than I have got in my head.
I'd never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work.
I never wanted to do Shakespeare; I never liked watching it, it's always frightened me, and I've never been any good at it. But I really wanted to work with the director Tim Carroll and Mark Rylance.
Nobody else took what I was doing seriously, so nobody would want to work with me. I was thought to be a bit eccentric and maybe cranky.
I go through phases sometimes: 'I'm a genius; they get me,' and sometimes I'm like, 'Why does anyone want to hear me?'
Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.
Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories.
Whenever the party-girl tag gets attached to my name, it makes me want to snort with derision.
There were movies that always made me want to be a director. You see brilliant scenes and the way the emotions were handled. I thought, I'd really like to do that.
