Zitat des Tages von John Barrowman:
In everything I do, I find some of myself, or a lot of myself, and put it into the role.
My first professional job was actually at a place called Opryland U.S.A., which no longer exists, but I've been performing since I was a kid.
You have to do bad things in order to become a hero. You have to make sacrifices.
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.
I don't call myself an actor, I call myself an entertainer, because I don't just do one thing.
I was the one who taught my sister and my niece how to walk in high heels.
I find with television, you have to play personality, whereas onstage, everyone talks about 'the character,' and what you do. It's a very different thing, because stage is much bigger, but on television, for things to come across to the public, I think you have to play a bit of your personality.
For some reason I seem to be a massive hit with middle-aged women. I seriously don't know what it is.
I'm one who will always speak my mind and say what I feel!
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.
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.'
I think my biggest appeal for fans is probably the fact that I'm honest. I'm up front about who I am. I'm a little naughty. I have a naughty side and everybody knows that. But I know when to use that and when not to.
I've always said in my career and in my life I only do things I'm interested in.
When I was younger I wanted to be an airline pilot, but that lasted for about 30 seconds.
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.
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.
It wasn't until I got involved in 'Doctor Who' that I started doing dramas on television.
