Louis Theroux Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Louis Theroux:

I'm following my interests, and there's something about investigating the world and creating a watchable, entertaining programme out of it that is deeply satisfying.

There is no religion that has a monopoly on bigotry.

There's obviously a lot of controversy around the issue of hunting as there is around gambling, and I like these stories where there is a moral dimension, stories that force you to think about your prejudices about a subject and explore the extent to which they are justified.

Louis Theroux

Big game hunters and the hunting industry in South Africa know a lot of people regard what they do as terrible, and the media have tended not to do them any favours. So it was an uphill struggle to win trust from the people and to get into the world.

Louis Theroux

I think people are so immersed in the anti-Scientology mindset by consuming tabloid media and stories about space aliens. It's baffling. When I say I want to see a more positive side of the church, all I'm saying is I want to get past these headlines that talk about aliens and Tom Cruise jumping on a sofa.

Louis Theroux

Scientology is not that different from other religions. And yet, at the same time, we don't have Anglicans doing the things that are alleged to be done in Scientology, at least in the Sea Org.

As much as the glasses, it's the Englishness and the gangliness. The apparent lack of muscularity... they indicate I'm not a macho man.

I tell people I live in Harlesden in north-west London, and I can see them thinking, 'Why do you live there?'

Louis Theroux

L.A. is the opposite of Britain in a lot of respects, and that's what draws so many British people here.

Louis Theroux

I've discovered I am quite a puritanical person.

Louis Theroux

I'm following my interests, and there's something about investigating the world and creating a watchable, entertaining programme out of it that is deeply satisfying.

Louis Theroux

The thing is, I have never been that confident, and, um, I have a lot of self-doubt, and I had never - I don't think I ever would have consciously chosen to be a television presenter.

Louis Theroux

I've always enjoyed painting, but I went to teach in schools in Zimbabwe instead.

Louis Theroux

The trouble is, I just don't know if I'm too human or not human enough.

Louis Theroux

Empires will come and go. The Soviet Union collapses; China can become a superpower, but 'Blue Peter' stays the same.

Louis Theroux

Clearly I'm able to read emotions. But I do feel... What is it? Awkwardness. I'm not a slick dude. That's what it comes down to. The nakedness, the guilelessness... that's quite real.

Louis Theroux

My guilty fear is that what I'm doing, probably anyone could do. And that I just got a lot of lucky breaks.

Celebrity is quite a fraught word. It is not something I aspire to, but I can certainly see why it could be.

I have been to a few A-list parties, but not massively. It's not my life, but it's fun dipping into it.

In the past, I've tried to show the human side of people involved in stigmatised or misunderstood lifestyles. I've tried to resist easy judgments and not pander to prejudices.

Louis Theroux

I both admired my father and his writing, and I saw how much he valued it.

Louis Theroux

I am genuinely slightly vague and chaotic in my habits. For good or ill, you know.

Louis Theroux

I was always attracted and repelled by the idea of being a writer.

Louis Theroux

I think there's a feeling of - a grassroots feeling of being betrayed by the elites in some way: that the system is working for itself and not for the people at the bottom.

Louis Theroux

In my normal way of doing things, there's a little bit of 'going native' that takes place, where you're in a world long enough, you can't really help but start to see things in a nuanced, more humanistic way. Just because you're with people and you start to, in general, slightly like the people you're with.

Louis Theroux

I'm not pugnacious or argumentative. I'd probably feel fear going into a pub in the Outback.

Louis Theroux

Louis Theroux

As a BBC broadcaster, I really do hope that the new incarnation of 'Top Gear' with Chris Evans does well.
