Once again exhibiting his fierce and undying dedication and devotion to theatre and the performing arts at large, as well as the creators responsible for it, stage and screen superstar Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he intends to get a new tattoo dedicated to one of his favorite playwrights, Samuel Beckett.

In a new interview, Radcliffe reveals, "I am planning to get a couple of tattoos... It's going to sound really pretentious, but there's a [Samuel] Beckett quote I really like which I'm going to get tattooed on me."

So, which masterful quote by the man behind WAITING FOR GODOT could it possibly be, you may ask? "'Try again, fail again, fail better.' That's what I'm about," Radcliffe says of the thought-provoking adage.

"I heard someone say growing up is about aiming to succeed, but being fulfilled by failing very well," he continues.

"I agree with that 100 percent," the HARRY POTTER star concludes.

So, what theatrically-related quote would you personally consider committing to ink for all time?
