Jeremy Irons
  • We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.

  • So nevertheless, what I'm saying is that what one is - one's parameters are constantly narrowed by one's success, and my desire is to widen my field even if I risk failure.

  • I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.

  • The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you're always asked to do what you've already done.

  • However, I wasn't very good at the sciences, or didn't have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn't set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn't get a good enough result to go to University.
