I think nobody since has written such extraordinary work as Shakespeare writes. The characters he writes are full of inconsistencies, which is a great human quality - I mean we're all very inconsistent in the way we behave.

More quotes by Jeremy Irons
What takes us back to the past are the memories. What brings us forward is our dreams.
Jeremy Irons
An acting assistant stage manager in a theater in Canterbury, a rep theater. A small wage but just enough to get by on, and I made props, and I walked on, and I changed scenery, and I realized that I just loved it.
Jeremy Irons
Anywhere I can ski in the morning and sell a movie in the afternoon is good.
Jeremy Irons
It's just money it's made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat.
Jeremy Irons
Same-sex marriage will lead to fathers marrying sons.
Jeremy Irons
We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.
Jeremy Irons
Making movies can actually be quite boring, there's a lot of sitting around and waiting. Unless you really believe in the story and love the character, and unless you really need the money, I don't see the point in doing it.
Jeremy Irons
What I try to do as an actor is constantly find that, find ways to risk, find opportunities to fall on my face if it's going to be worth it, and then maybe I'll surprise myself.
Jeremy Irons
Sadly, one's parameters are constantly narrowed by one's success.
Jeremy Irons
It's always useful to be in big movies for one's career.
Jeremy Irons
I liked the theater. I liked the people. I liked the time that we worked.
Jeremy Irons
Never played a video game. Actually, I try to keep them out of my house.
Jeremy Irons
We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.
Jeremy Irons
I have to say that I've reached the state of my career where I quite like not to work. Strange enough, I'm busier than ever. I'm not spending every waking hour beside a telephone waiting for it to ring.
Jeremy Irons
When it seems that someone has shattered your dreams....pick up even the smallest of pieces and use them to build bigger and better dreams.
Jeremy Irons
Because I'm now successful, what I'm being offered as an actor is more and more of the same.
Jeremy Irons
Most people are robust. If a man puts his hand on a woman’s bottom, any woman worth her salt can deal with it. It is communication. Can’t we be friendly?
Jeremy Irons
I've never been passionate about acting, and I find more and more that I work to live the life I want to live. [...] There's something about the detachment I have, the feeling of the lack of importance about what I do, that is healthy.
Jeremy Irons
And whenever I'm in a situation where I'm wearing the same as 600 other people and doing the same thing as 600 other people, looking back, I always found ways to make myself different, whether it be having a red lining inside of my jacket, having red shoes, it hasn't changed.
Jeremy Irons
I'm very glad I'm not a politician. I think it's one step away from the gates of hell, being a politician. I really do. It`s a nightmare.
