Jeremy Irons

“The great thing about being an actor is that you can get to be a different person every day.”

“I think it's very important to have a sense of humor. It gets you through the bad times.”

“We are all struggling in our lives, and we are all trying to find a way to deal with it.”

“I think an actor's job is to tell a story. I'm not a politician. I'm not a moralist. I'm just a storyteller.”

“You have to have a passion for your work. How can you inspire a team if you don't have a passion?”

“I've always been a bit of a loner. I've always been a bit of a maverick.”

“One can be very happy without demanding that others agree with them.”

“I have a great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going.”

“I'm not interested in being a star. I'm interested in being a good actor.”

“I think the most important thing for an actor is to have a director who you can trust.”

“We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.”

“There's no point in making a film if you're not going to be proud of it.”
