More quotes by John Barrowman
I did archery when I was in high school. In our gym class we had two weeks of archery and I remember taking the bow and arrow and firing it up and across the street into a car parking lot.

Never apologize for being nerdy.

My first professional job was actually at a place called Opryland USA, which no longer exists, but I've been performing since I was a kid.

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

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.

I’m an openly gay man playing an omnisexual hero, who is loved on both sides of the Atlantic. How could I not be proud of that?
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
As an actor, I only play what is in the moment, rather than in the future, but sometimes the past is more important than what is coming up in the future.
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
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
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'm really passionate about pantomime because it is often the first introduction for a child to theatre, and if that child has a great experience at a pantomime they will continue to come year after year.
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 was the one who taught my sister and my niece how to walk in high heels.
John Barrowman
I've always said in my career and in my life I only do things I'm interested in.
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.
