We often get pigeon-holed as a tough guy, or whatever else. I've been pigeon-holed as a heavy and serious, and almost a baddy, but not quite a baddy, over the years of my work in television, particularly.

More quotes by John Noble
There's a certain pattern that exists with geniuses - an eccentricity, a lack of social graces and an inability to really communicate with mere mortals.
John Noble
With science becoming far more accessible to all of us, I've become a pretty avid reader and devourer of it. One of the objectives that I had working with Fringe was to get more people talking about it because it's such fun.
John Noble
We didn't know until really quite late in the piece how Joel [Wyman] would finish it off.
John Noble
In Revelation 12, we see a pure, holy woman giving birth to a son - a corporate son who brings victory by the blood of Jesus, their testimony and sacrifice. My vision is to see that kind of church moving in the authority, the sacrifice and love of Jesus.
John Noble
I always loved the challenge. When something new happened, I always used to get quite excited.
John Noble
I was a theater man, so I was never in the situation of being a handsome Hollywood leading man, and then having to age.
John Noble
I think main storylines are what always intrigued me, with those that were the relationships between the characters against whatever backdrop, whether it was in an ordinary universe or a universe in the future.
John Noble
You're always working with the relationships. It's pretty demanding, but then again I love that.
John Noble
I'd never done anything that required a five-year commitment. To build a show that seems to have kept the imagination of the world so much was a bit otherworldly.
John Noble
Over the last 25 years, since a lot of science writing became accessible to layman, I've become quite a consumer of science. As a child, I wasn't streamed into science, and I regret that now.
John Noble
It was wonderful to be able to play a character who had so many colors and who was able to play comedy, to play incredibly vulnerable, which he did a lot of the time, to play the love story, and to play the relationship with the son, which is quite unusual. That's a gift to me, as an actor.
John Noble
I could go anywhere in the world and people would stop me in the street and talk about Fringe and how much they adored it and asked questions about it.
John Noble
I would kill to do more work with Orla Brady, I think she's that gifted.
John Noble
You basically go in animation and it's all in the imagination. There aren't even pictures to look at. You usually go in there and work with whoever the director is to create this voice and this character.
John Noble
A lot of the times, roles are chosen for us.
John Noble
As actors, you don't actually need to know the future of the character. You just need to know the backgrounds.
John Noble
I have a very special love for all of those actors [in Fringe] and I'll miss them.Over the five years, we were given the chance to develop some pretty close bonds, both with our characters and personally, and we did.
John Noble
I've played a bunch of different versions of Walter [from Fringe]... I loved it when he was being random, which was probably the original version of him, more than anyone else. I loved doing Walter then, and all of the different mental states that we've played.
John Noble
It might be different for people that are A-list actors, but a lot of us really look at what's offered to us and look for something that has some traction with other people. But, it's not like I read 100 scripts a week, and then pick and choose. Maybe some actors do. I certainly don't do that.
John Noble
Working in television is very hard. I think people know that.
