"I’ve first saw him in New York, in a play called Red and when I saw it I did not know if he was American. I just assumed he was American and exactly the person that he played because he was so brilliant.

But he is incredibly versatile and when I saw him doing Red, it’s nothing like what he is doing in this movie but his capacity, his talent in that play was so overwhelming, I could not imagine anybody better to play this part." - Michelle Williams on Eddie Redmayne as Colin Clark
