Patrick Stewart Prefers Working in Theatre than Films and Television

Features

By GustavoLeao / 10:58, 21 October 2009 / People

Press Association posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart and here are excerpts.

"I've now come back to England to do exactly what I wanted to do when I left drama school at 19, and the past five years has been the happiest years of my life," he said.

"My ambition was to only ever work for the Royal Shakespeare Company, not to do film, not to do television. I had no interest in that whatsoever, I just wanted to be on a stage acting Shakespeare. Shakespeare has been a magnetic draw for me since I was 10 years old." he said 

He revealed that his move to Hollywood was a "fluke".

"Going to Hollywood was unexpected - it was a fluke that I went there to start filming Star Trek: The Next Generation. But I never ever ceased to get a thrill that Patrick Stewart from Mirfield in Yorkshire is driving through the gates at Paramount Studios," he laughed

The full interview is here.

Plus, Stewart recently told St. Charles College students how he would visit the cinema frequently as a teenager to get away from his difficult home life. Patrick was at the school to launch National Schools Film Week at London's Empire cinema. Read the interview

Living in Brazil, the chances are that I will never see Mr Stewart on stage in this life. One of the thing I would really love to do and simply cant.Damn.
