John Barrowman Quotations

I've always said in my career and in my life I only do things I'm interested in.

I'm one who will always speak my mind and say what I feel!

I'm lively when I perform and I always put everything into a show, but when I get home I love lying down in front of the TV and relaxing.

It wasn't until I got involved in 'Doctor Who' that I started doing dramas on television.

I live my life openly and freely every day anyway, and do what I want to do, but I don't take any great risks.

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.

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.

In everything I do, I find some of myself, or a lot of myself, and put it into the role.

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.

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.
