Jeremy Irons quotes that show he is a Type 3

  • "I don’t go to church much because I don’t like belonging to a club, and I don’t go to confession or anything like that, I don’t believe in it. But I try to be aware of where I fail and I occasionally go to services. I would hate to be a person who didn’t have a spiritual side because there’s nothing to nourish you in life apart from retail therapy."

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.” (this also points to his 3 Wing).

  • “I love being part of a group who tells stories, whether it be in the theater or in cinema, and I love creating imaginary worlds rather as children do…”

  • “Sadly, one’s parameters are constantly narrowed by one’s success.”
