Never. None of the characters in any of Shakespeare's plays appear to reflect any part of Shakespeare's attitudes or beliefs and if they do, it is impossible to tell. Even with Hamlet's "advice to the players" (the speech in 3,2 which starts "Speak the speech I pray you as I prounounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue . . .") we hear ideas about the dramatic art which sound reasonable and the kind of thing an accomplished actor might say. But, hold on! Hamlet has expressed in 2,2 a love of the kind of drama we find in "Aeneas' tale to Dido", a play which just about everyone hated, which was "caviar to the general". Hamlet's taste in drama is snobbish and academic, and apparently he likes long tedious classical recitations. Was this really Shakespeare's attitude to drama? We'd like to think not, but otherwise aren't we just cherry-picking which of Hamlet's statements about drama we agree with and then concluding that they must have been Shakespeare's exclusively on the basis that we agree with them?
