"A clown I knew who was retiring from Ringling Brothers gave me his giant shoes, and somebody else made me a clown suit."

One of the reasons why I love to do Shakespeare is that this great artist was able to talk to a wide variety of audiences. He could do the bawdy plays and the humor and the clowns-as you know, because you're a wonderful Stephano-that speaks to the populace, the masses, the groundlings, whatever.
