John Barrowman Quotes

I was gobsmacked by that. I was absolutely gobsmacked. All these things that are happening. I just sit back and . . . I can`t believe it but I love it. I`m totally enjoying it. Because I`m a fan, a sci-fi fan, they have made a young boy`s dreams come true. (after being told that his role in "Torchwood" (2006) had propelled him to "instantaneous National Treasure status")

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. (on his role as Captain Jack Harkness on "Torchwood" (2006))

I`m not the sort that likes to go out and get hammered, I`m not the "Hotel Babylon" (2006) and I let that go years ago now that I am older and wiser.

Remember that I have a family. Remember that I have teenage nieces and nephews--and younger--who do surf the Internet for stuff about their uncle. And I would appreciate if you don`t make up rumors and things about me. If you want the facts, go to my Web site. I`m truthful. I`m honest about the way I talk. If you want the truth, come to me. (on what he thinks of what is written about him on the Internet, which he refuses to read)

Chris (Christopher Eccleston) was always grumpy. You don`t always have to be intense. There comes a point when intensity makes you miserable - I think that was the case with Chris. I much prefer working with David (David Tennant) - he likes to have a bit more fun, he`s more charismatic as a person. Chris might have been a great Doc but he was darker and had a chip on his shoulder, he was not as much fun on set as David. I will give him the credit that he was the first Doctor to bring back the series and made a damn good job of it. But I just wouldn`t go to the pub with him. On the other hand, David`s been to my house, we went to the Madonna concert with our partners - we socialise together. He`s a lot more fun.

Too Much In Love To Care

My parents have always brought us up to believe that sex and sexuality are something to be proud of, and you don`t have to flaunt it if you don`t want to. People don`t walk around with a banner saying they`re straight, so why should I walk around with one saying I`m gay? I understand there are people who want to and need to make that statement, and I appreciate that, but don`t come down on me because I`m not one of them.

How many families do you know where the son sleeps with the father`s new wife?

Scott came into the dressing room while I was getting dressed, ... I was bending over to pull my pants up, so the first thing he saw was my bare bum. Then I turned around and saw him. At that very instant, in my head, I said, `That`s him. That`s the one.` And he says he was thinking the exact same thing.
