More quotes by John Barrowman
When I was a kid growing up in the States in the late '70s and early '80s, as soon as 'Dallas' came on on a Friday night on CBS at 9 P.M., we stopped everything from that moment on as a family.
John Barrowman
I don't feel sorry for myself, because I'm living my dream. Even when I was a little boy I used to stand in the playground and pretend I was on 'Opportunity Knocks.'
John Barrowman
Whenever I'm in Glasgow I go and stand outside the front of the house I grew up in, which is in Mount Vernon.
John Barrowman
You know, every year 'Torchwood' has become something a little different than it was before. It's still sci-fi, but it doesn't just deal with spaceships and aliens all the time, because we've done that. Our science fiction is more psychological.
John Barrowman
What I can say that's different in American television… in Britain, they wouldn't cancel something after a couple of episodes. In the States they would. They would just decide it's not working, take it off and put something else in on the fall schedule.
John Barrowman
Desperate Housewives' was a good experience, though, as I got to play the bad guy for once. My only complaint was they had me in a lot of sweaters.
John Barrowman
Honestly, the world can be a dark enough place. Light it up.
John Barrowman
I would wish that people would accept people for who they are, not be judgemental, allow people to live their lives and enjoy themselves and that would be my wish for people.
John Barrowman
I've always said in my career and in my life I only do things I'm interested in.
John Barrowman
I trust the [series] writers when I'm filming, because it's interesting for me to go in every week and see what's going to happen, and the challenge for me as the actor is to make it work.
John Barrowman
I would love to lecture to women on men. I'd tell them everything about men: gay, straight, bi, how we're all the same, how we're all bastards.
John Barrowman
I was the one who taught my sister and my niece how to walk in high heels.
John Barrowman
Never apologize for being nerdy.
John Barrowman
My humour and my work ethic definitely come from my Scottish side, and I have to say the sense of humour doesn't really translate when I'm in America.
John Barrowman
The one thing that makes 'Torchwood' work so brilliantly and makes it a little bit above the rest of all other sci-fi dramas out there is that we have a sense of humour.
John Barrowman
There's a lot of me in Captain Jack and there's a lot of Captain Jack in me. And there is no pun intended.
John Barrowman
Fit men walking around and bathing, it would be just like being in Ancient Rome [on a footballers dressing room
John Barrowman
It wasn't until I got involved in Doctor Who that I started doing dramas on television.
John Barrowman
I do tend to eat healthily most of the time, but I don't restrict myself. I believe in eating anything and everything in moderation and doing some exercise.
John Barrowman
I don't think nudity is a bad thing, I don't think people should be embarrassed about their bodies, and I don't mind whipping it out.
John Barrowman
