    "When I started acting, I hated myself. Most actors do." Getting teary, here...

      Such a relatable quote. I'm currently reading his book, "Being An Actor" and as an aspiring performer myself, I've never read another account that is so brutally honest about the trials and tribulations of trying to start out as an actor but not forgetting about the rewards too! It's frankly inspiring to read that you're not alone when you doubt yourself when you start off, especially coming from such a well respected stage and screen actor such as him. :)

      Not teary at all. It was a dispassionate Observation.

    I agree my friend, this actor is so in tune with the deep talent of Shakespeare! It is remarkable that he talks about how he felt, like he did not belong and even hated himself, but through the process of acting - being other people - be came to know himself. Blessings! Tim :)

    Callow is so articulate. Speaks beautifully. I'm envious.

    Brilliant! Fascinating! Leagues above the stupidity of the current situation and the multitude of fools. A breath of fresh air. Loved the way he described acting as being Zen. Being in the moment which brings you alive.

    Thank you Mr. Muir. You've done those of us without the opportunity of attending a grand acting school the greatest favor for sharing these shows. I'm indebted to you. Even if I never get to act again I can live vicariously through your great work. Thank you sir.

      I am reading his book on Charles Laughton. It's wonderfully well written and articulate. He calls Laughton in the same league as Shakespreare as an actor.

    That last sonnet: Callow just completely nails it, straight off the cuff! A real pleasure to watch

    3:42 With Shakespeare, I'm a novice. As a violinist, I'm not, and I can say whenever I hear actors say this about trusting the part Shakespeare has created, I think of Johann Sebastian Bach's work. It's exactly this way with Bach. He's taken care of it all in the very notes, phrases, pacing, counterpoint, even timbre in terms of orchestration. All one must do almost is simply play it. That's why Wendy Carlos could put Bach on Moogs. You could plug in Bach to 50 kazoos or sampled flatulence and aside from a laugh, it would absolutely still work in all its majesty!

    Loved him in Four Weddings and A Funeral, he's probably the best thing in it actually. Honestly thought he was gay in real life, after Four Weddings. Love to see more of him, great voice and clarity and resonance. Bloody good actor. Can definitely tell he's classically trained!

    I am currently listening to¨A Handful of Dust¨, by Evelyn Waugh. For the fourth time. Callow takes the dialogue of Waugh and cracks it like a whip. And Waugh was no pussy.
