Thanks for your active contributions. I'...@Judy<br />Thanks for your active contributions. I've read several interviews and listened/watched some others but not the two ones you mention. I'll give them a look. I need sources for next RA Friday! <br />Anyhow I knew he would love to be Richard III but never heard about his desire to be Machiavelli. But he if wants to be really bad,he should wish he might interpret Machiavelli's Prince = Cesare Borgia!<br />I'd love to see him again as someone as complex but as charming as JT.Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-28167333425937672662010-05-05T23:44:21.581+02:002010-05-05T23:44:21.581+02:00Maria, I was wondering if you'd seen the littl...Maria, I was wondering if you'd seen the little comment from RA in this week's Radio Times in the UK - for some reason they have an article claiming that it is a golden age of British TV drama at the moment (I think not - there is almost nothing on apart from reality TV and no period dramas at all!) Anyway, they have asked various actors for their views, and Richard's comment is as follows:<br /><br />"Deep down I'm searching for another 'North & South'. It was the first time I started to experiment on screen and take risks. I'd love to play Richard III or Machiavelli. I have fun with the baddies because I can really delve into my naughty side." <br /><br />There's also an interesting interview in the Guardian today, including a brief video interview:<br />http://tinyurl.com/3a5hdt3Judyhttp://costumedramas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-74257371142005210352010-05-02T23:34:52.721+02:002010-05-02T23:34:52.721+02:00Excellent post.

While most interviews and articles are not all that original in terms of questions askes or comments made, the Readers Diges one is a RAre exception. Thoughtful and very insightful. Wish there'd be more like this one.. and obviously more TV interviews - always better to hear it straight from the 'horse's mouth'.. if only to listen to the voice :DMaryKwizMizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919297610220666478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-44382368616849985112010-05-02T19:12:37.683+02:002010-05-02T19:12:37.683+02:00Hi, Maria, and thanks for collecting together the ...Hi, Maria, and thanks for collecting together the interviews.

"Bad" thing - they were so similar I was wondering if they were the same, just slightly re-phrased. :/ One of the ones I looked at included that blue-shirt picture... was difficult to avert my eyes from it to read the text! *giggle* Thanks for the links! :DTraxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249884092846934427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-38934211156856438892010-05-01T15:07:24.048+02:002010-05-01T15:07:24.048+02:00Great piece!

And what a post, starting with that amazing pic - one of the best of the most celebrated 'Venni Collection', which surfaced on the web just hours ago - and going on with those really interesting and sensitive comments by the man himself. Reading the interviews - in fact, you've picked out the best stuff - I've much appreciated his humour as well as his sensitiveness and commitment to work.<br />Thank you for taking the time to post a RAF, in spite of your hectic RL! :)<br />Have a nice weekend everyone,<br />KBUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379500796509756719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-75140798766371803642010-05-01T06:28:49.770+02:002010-05-01T06:28:49.770+02:00Great post Maria Grazia!

I especially want to read the Reader's Digest one.<br />I love the quote about how if left to himself he'd rather be painting or playing the cello!! It almost sounds too good to be true! But everything else he says sounds so thoughtful and unrehearsed too. **sigh** He certainly makes it extremely difficult to recover from my RA obsession!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-29490402615618651382010-05-01T04:33:54.645+02:002010-05-01T04:33:54.645+02:00I always like reading what he has to say.
