"Hamlet's not allowed to be the king, he's not allowed to be the powerhouse, so he's the next most honest person in court, which is the fool. Because if he were the prince,
he would have to toe the line of the king. Instead, he wants to be honest. And, in fact,
he's never mad in his dialogue. In fact, all that he says is often very truthful; he hides
it through incredible language and by inventing people's language, and that's very
much the use of the fool." -- Jude Law
