And I hate the idea of high art and low art.

I think it's nonsense.

And actually all the people who were, you know, like with Shakespeare or any of those people, like Shakespeare, I always feel has been sort of hijacked by academics, you know, and anybody, you know, I always find that because the very first, because we used to do when I was a kid, we used to do these, we used to get to do Shakespeare in these little Irish competitions, you know, like just extracts from Shakespeare.

So you do 10 minutes of it and you sort of,

You just, I kind of understood it in a way.
