      Patrick Stewart is a force, still as yet unleashed. He is indeed, however, in flight above other meer players.

      A delightful interview - thank you, Mr. Rose

      I felt - blessed - to have been able to see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth the last week of the show's run on Broadway. What a production! What a performance! Stewart's maddened, tragically doomed martial hero (or anti-hero, if you will) was a Macbeth unlike any other.

      Amy's point is well-taken. Although the Bway production evokes the grasping expansionist dream of the former USSR, it is - alas! - not a great leap from there to today's America.

      A lesson to us all, to see ourselves as others might see us...

      Stewart's Macbeth was the most lucid, the most clear, the most well-characterized I have ever seen. The entire cast was - superb. Superb.

      I'd be ever so grateful if someone has filmed some performance of this production so I can have it on DVD and can see it again, and again and again.

      This interview was delightful - There are no words too express MR Stewart's acting. I

      just happy I was able to see him act in more then one play. Thank You DML Fl,USA.

      Charlie, did you blush when Patrick referred to a "dangerous women" and did Patrick well up at the very end?

      So revealing all the way around.

      Great interview.

      Patrick Stewart was in full flight indeed, as Charlie said during this interview, one of the best I've seen in a while.

      It is always delightful to hear a conversation with an artist so gifted and also able to share the joy as Stewart does On another note, I found "Koba the Dread" a fascinating book for several reasons. Interesting to hear Stewart raise it in this context. I happen to have loved "Macbeth" since I was 14 as well though I am sure I missed the tragedy and focused more on the juicy role for Lady Macbeth. Great part!

      Way too short! Felt rushed and some sentences was cut to save time. I was expecting a full hour of Stewart and it was really needed...

      If you(the Charlie Rose show) has more of this interview in stock you should really upload it.

      A wonderful interview with Patrick Stewart. Such a magnetic personality and a great actor. Thank you.

      What an induvidual, Patrick Stewart. He is NOT your average Hollywood man, very humble, and very intelligent. Not only is he polite and kind, he has a charm that cannot be matched!I was able to see him in Macbeth, it was an experience I will never forget.

      And, I might add, he's one hell of a good looking old man. A suger daddy man.

    12. T.O.  05/06/2008 02:39 PM Report

      How pedestrian. Amy thinks her country is such a horrible place that she should leave. It is because most liberals talk like this that they must constantly defend their patriotism. How evolved.

    13. Jeffrey Hildt  05/06/2008 10:29 AM Report

      What a wonderful segment. Patrick Stewart is one of the most together individuals I've seen on television in ages. He not only appears to be extremely comfortable with himself, but he speaks with such insight, and modesty, about his craft. Truly, it seems, an enlightened individual. I kept thinking that his his friends and colleagues are so lucky to know and work him. Thank you, Charlie, for letting him have the stage.

      In high school English class, we spent what seemed like an interminable amount of time, pouring over every phrase and syllable of the Scottish play. Had I realized how pertinent Macbeth would be in 21st century American political life, I might have paid more attention. On the other hand, if I knew then what I know now, I would have emigrated to Denmark.
