In the article, Sharrock states, "… I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to it. Richard, Daniel and I agreed it was all or nothing, we wouldn't do it without each other..."
Here is what she was quoted to have said about working with Radcliffe:
"...working with Daniel Radcliffe is nothing but a pleasure. I've never met anybody of his age who has his discipline and level of professionalism - and yet there was also a genuine nervousness and naivety because he'd never worked in the theatre before. There's something very special about being part of somebody's training, which is essentially what I was doing with him. We had a lot of madness over Daniel here and I'm sure it'll be the same in New York. The funny thing about the craziness is that, when you're right in the middle of it all, you still just have to get on with things. If you take your head out of the job, of course you notice all the paparazzi following him to work and back home again, all that. But you have a choice - you either see it from their point of view and become part of the monster that the media can create or you step away from that and remember that that's nothing to do with me, nothing to do with the job I'm doing. The job that I'm doing is directing this actor in the room, and you just get on with it."
