she really intrigues me when she speaks, and makes me feel that my theatre education wasn't a complete waste lol

What a cultured, sophisticated and fine woman. She's naturally quick-witted and so much fun. As someone who learns English as a second language, it's incredibly enjoyable listening to her talk. I could listen to this all day.

Amazing interview. It is today that I discover that Fiona is a woman of theater and not just Cinema/Tv. She approached the questions and like in other OxfordUnion Q&As, with such depth that adds so much to my view of her as one the few self-aware people in this industry.

I think she is first and foremost a theatre actress, but I love her in film and tv too!

Fuck this lady is clever. I spent my whole life admiring and absorbing literature and still I feel like an idiot child when she speaks, when she quotes these timeless paragraphs of text that fully embrace the message she is trying to get across, when she just illustrates in perfect choice of words something I've suspected since college and never quite grasped about the classics. I could listen to her explain theater for hours. For days. She is probably scary to watch live on stage. I've had a crush on her since I saw her in My Left Foot. Never had the privilege of seeing her perform :,(

Fiona Shaw, I must say that in Mountains of the Moon, you looked absolutely beautiful, from head to foot, in that very tastefully done love scene with "Burton". Credit to you, the lighting technician and the director, oh, and Patrick Bergin...

Told my husband, who I’ve been very happily married to for decades, that I’ve got a little bit of a girl crush on Fiona Shaw. I blame Killing Eve.
