In a conversation about the film, Kingsley quoted Shakespeare’s King Lear: “Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.” Reflecting both on his character and his personal life, Kingsley added, “There’s something gently tapping on te door — and that’s wisdom. It’s surprising, because I never thought I’d ever get wise.”
