John Barrowman Zitate

John Scot Barrowman, MBE ist ein britisch-US-amerikanischer Entertainer.

Er studierte Darstellende Kunst in Großbritannien und den USA und widmet sich hauptsächlich dem Schauspiel in Theater und Fernsehen, arbeitet aber auch als Sänger, Fernsehmoderator, Autor und Comedian sowie privat als Menschenrechts- und Tierschutzaktivist. Im Sinne der Unterhaltung versuchte er sich außerdem als Eiskunstläufer, Tänzer und Tierdokumentarfilmer für das britische und kanadische Kinderfernsehen. 2011 verlieh seine Alma Mater RSAMD dem erfahrenen Leading Man die Ehrendoktorwürde der Fakultät für Schauspiel.Internationale Bekanntheit außerhalb der Theaterszene erlangte Barrowman seit 2005 durch seine Darstellung des Captain Jack Harkness in der britischen Science-Fiction-Familienserie Doctor Who. Captain Jack, Rose und Sarah Jane gelten als die beliebtesten Companions in der 55-jährigen Geschichte der Kultserie. Infolge dessen erhielt seine Figur mit Torchwood in vier Staffeln einen eigenen international erfolgreichen Ableger, gefolgt von einer Vielzahl von Hörspielen, Merchandise-Objekten , Comics, Zeitschriften und Romanen, einige davon aus der Feder von Barrowman und seiner Schwester Carole , einer Professorin für Anglistik und Literatur in Wisconsin. Im britischen Fernsehen ist er seit dieser Rolle nahezu omnipräsent; als Antagonist Malcolm Merlyn / „Dark Archer“ brachte er sein wachsendes internationales Publikum ab 2012 mit zur US-amerikanischen Serie Arrow.

John Barrowman: Zitate auf Englisch

“I've kind of made Jack a hero that I would like to have looked up to as a little boy because as a little boy, I knew I was gay but I didn't know what it was. Didn't know who to talk to about it. … I wanted kids to like him, and I wanted women, men, I wanted everyone to like him. But first I wanted people to hate him. I wanted them to think he was arrogant and pushy and too sure of himself. And I wanted them to follow the arc of the change he went through in the final episodes of Doctor Who.”

On Jack Harkness, in "Fall TV Preview: Captain Jack (not that one) talks about the gay barrier" http://www.seattlepi.com/default/article/Fall-TV-Preview-Captain-Jack-not-that-one-1243787.php in seattlepi (16 July 2007)

“I love Christmas. I work in Pantomime over the christmas period. On christmas eve I always say to the audience: "Let's celebrate the birth of a child and the start of a new beginning. Let's all sing Silent Night." And we all start singing and halfway through it everybody on the stage is just in tears. Calm comes across everybody. And there is no judgement, there is no anger. It is everybody sitting and thinking about one tiny thing but thinking about it all together and being one with each other. It's just incredible.”

“It's taken me 30 years to get this way, and I don't intend to let go. I work hard, but I play hard, too, and that's the one part of me that nobody sees. But I intend to be around for a long time yet.”

Taste of My Life BBC2 (2008)

“Personally, in my home life it's the same, but professionally it's different. I'm not having to fight or push as much to get in to be seen for TV shows or for films. The calls are coming in. Also the fans are great. I love them and I am one myself.”

On how Doctor Who fame changed his life, in Attitude (2005)

“When I first came into the industry I thought, why do you need to know if I'm gay? Why do you need to have a definition of somebody before you find out who they are and what they are as a person and what they can do in the performance of their job? What they do in their bedroom or who they love does not define who they are as an individual or human being! Because we all love different people. There are so many young men and women in society at the moment who have that struggle. But not they are tormented inside; it is because of what they are hearing around them. And these people who claim to be Christians are telling these young men and women that they are wrong. That they are evil. That they should not love. That they were not made this way. How dare you make that judgement? It hurts me and it upsets me when I hear people who say they are Christians who aren't saying very nice things about other people”

“I would love to lecture to women on men. I'd tell them everything about men: gay, straight, bi, how we're all the same, how we're all bastards.”

What I know about men, Morwenna Ferrier, Sunday September 7 2008, Sunday September 7 2008, The Observer http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/2008/sep/07/women.relationships1,

“Two men as two women and as a man and a woman can have a loving relationship and make a commitment. And that's what marriage is about.”

Fern Britton Meets John Barrowman BBC 2012

“You have to work hard in the industry. I didn't come into the industry and into the business and to do what I do to become famous. But I knew in the back of my head that if fame came along with it, that was a blessing. I love when someone recognizes me or wants an autograph. But for me it was about working rather than being a "star."”

Fern Britton Meets John Barrowman BBC (2012)

“Cher had just been to see Sunset Boulevard. She hunted me down the next day through management to ask me out to dinner. I wouldn't break my first date with Scott which felt like the chance of a lifetime, so after a pause she said, "Fine, bring him." I drove my car, Scott rode his bike. Scott parked his bike down the street. And we all met up, and we had dinner with Cher, and we had a fab time. At the end of the evening she said to me: "Walk me to my car, you'll love it." As we're walking to the car arm in arm, the photographers just come out of… the bushes, you name it. And we walk to the car and she leanes over and she goes "When I get in the car, give me a kiss." And I'm like "Fine." – What gay man wouldn't want to give Cher a kiss? So we kiss and they catch it just at that moment. The next day in the tabloids I was her new toyboy. But little did they know that the boy with the bicycle who walked out after us went and unhooked his bike, I put her in the car, went off, got my Jag, opened the trunk, put his bike in the trunk and I took him home. That would've been the story! —And he stayed. For 18 years now.”

“You can be in the public eye all the time and still have a private life, but the important thing is to keep in touch with the people who put you there.”
