Jeremy Irons's quotes

• Anyway, I'm never satisfied. I think were I ever satisfied with my work, I'd be in trouble.
• Basically, I want to keep working, so I don't worry about the size of the character - if it's interesting, I'll do it. It's quite nice doing smaller roles, in some ways. It means I get home more, and I can get on with my life.
• What a camera likes are eyes which have life and tell a story.
• On his Ducati motorbike: "Ferrari on two wheels."
• I sing like an actor and dance like a duck.
• If we have to pay taxes [for Emmy gift bags], so be it. But don't spend it on bombs, for Christ's sake.
• (When asked by an interviewer about why he accepted his role in Dungeons & Dragons (2000)) "Are you kidding? I'd just bought a castle, I had to pay for it somehow!"
• Actors often behave like children and so we're taken for children. I want to be grown up.
• [on Waterland (1992)] I find working for money and nothing else just totally soul-destroying. I've always wanted to work with the best directors on material that interests me, so that how this has come about really.
• [accepting his Best Actor Oscar, 1991] This is great!
• [At 2005 Oscars, responding to a loud bang on-stage while speaking about the 'Live Action Short' category] Oh God, I hope they missed.
• [on Downton Abbey (2010)] If you think that's good, then watch the Shakespeare productions [Shakespeare Uncovered (2012)]. You'll see what real writing, what real stories, what real characters are about.
• I enjoy playing villains. It's very difficult in many situations to know who the villains and good guys are. People tend to think in black and white, and, of course, we are all gray.
