The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Jeremy Brett
- You must have a twinkle in your eye, a naughtiness – and the audience must realize your mind is working faster than your words.
- The most important thing when you’re working with greatness is to learn from it, not challenge it.
- To me, the Sherlock Holmes stories are about a great friendship. Without Watson, Holmes might well have burnt out on cocaine long ago. I hope the series shows how important friendship is.
- I’m not looking and I don’t go hunting. I’m the type who’s got to be found.
- I’ve done 33 Sherlock Holmes stories and bits of them are all right. But the definitive Sherlock Holmes is really in everyone’s head. No actor can fit into that category because every reader has his own ideal.
- Holmes has become the dark side of the moon for me. He is moody and solitary and underneath I am really sociable and gregarious. It has all got too dangerous.
- Trying to be Sherlock Holmes is like trying to catch an arrow in mid-flight.
- They are a great essay in male friendship, which has gone now. Men’s friendship has been debased. One of the lovely things about Holmes and Watson is that they do have this great platonic relationship.
- Don’t be too brave. Bravery is a fine thing on some occasions, but sometimes it can be quite a dangerous thing. The stiff upper lip is not always the best.
- The provocation with Holmes is the fact that he’s described by Doyle as a man without a heart – all brain… and that’s very difficult to play, or even indicate.
Jeremy Brett was a celebrated British actor, best known for his definitive portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the Granada Television series from 1984 to 1994. Born on November 3, 1933, in Berkswell, England, Brett began his acting career on stage, gaining recognition for his striking looks and talent in classic roles, including multiple Shakespearean characters. He starred as Freddie Eynsford-Hill in My Fair Lady (1964), which brought him into Hollywood’s spotlight.
Brett’s commitment to Holmes was profound, and he spent years perfecting the character’s unique quirks and eccentricities, setting a benchmark for future portrayals. However, he faced personal challenges, including struggles with bipolar disorder, which influenced his intense performances.
His later years were marred by declining health, yet he continued acting until his passing on September 12, 1995. Brett’s legacy endures, with his Sherlock Holmes still revered as one of the most authentic interpretations ever brought to the screen.
