Happy Ninety First Birthday Jeremy! You are sorely missed.

In his own words:

You must have a twinkle in your eye, a naughtiness – and the audience must realize your mind is working faster than your words.”

“I meditate and do yoga. I sit cross-legged and try not to levitate too much.”

“I always read any reviews about my own work–I think it’s important to know the worst!”

“I’m not a very physical person, really, I used to think it would do me a great deal of good to lift weights, but I gave it up when my neck started getting bigger than my head.”

“Tina Turner may not agree, but the world does need heroes and yet again, at the end of another century, Holmes captures the heroic bent… I think he’s a very modern person. He’s interested in the poor, the street, law and justice. He got there before Clint Eastwood.”

“I arranged to meet him at the Savoy for tea, but neither of us turned up.” – Jeremy Brett.

“… traveling keeps me frisky, keeps the tummy off. I jog, I ride. I’m very fortunate to be one of the three percent of actors employed. I don’t believe in settling into being middle-aged.” September 1982.

“Remember, darling, I will always be close by; and remember, too, that life on earth is meant to be well lived and enjoyed at every possible moment.”

“Of course there are times of great sadness, but always try and enjoy all the other times.”
