"I was at Cambridge [when I got my start in acting] and I ran away. I'm a rebel and that's because my mother gave me this freedom and confidence. So I went down to London. I knew I was going to be an actor from about the age of eight. We're talking about the age of about seventeen and one-half that I walked into Tyrone Guthrie, who was doing Tamarlane the Great at the Old Vic. And I said, 'I want to be an actor vewy, vewy much.' He was kind of overwhelmed at this idiot. I remember I was wearing my brother's coat to make me look bigger. And he said I could have a walk-on part in Tamarlane. 'Or,' he said, 'you should go with that r sound to Central School,' which I did later." --Jeremy Brett, in an interview
At the Central School of Speech and Drama, he won three principal awards, those including the Laurence Olivier Award and the William Ford Memorial Prize.
