Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Jeremy Irons: (1986 comment on Robert De Niro) He is a method actor. I think it would be fair to say he's much slower than I am. As a man, Bob dislikes making a decision. And acting is a whole line of decisions. You make a decision every time you play a line -- do I say it like this or like that? But what I saw was a man trying many areas and now and again something would really work.

- Jeremy Irons: If we have to pay taxes [for Emmy gift bags], so be it. But don't spend it on bombs, for Christ's sake.
