Favorite Lennie James Quotes

1. "I was dreading all of the ghost stories of working on American television, not in the least, the length. In Britain, a series is six episodes of an hour drama, maybe sometimes eight, but never twenty-two, so I was petrified of that." ~ Lennie James

2. "I will say that when I first came out to the States to work on 'Jericho,' that was the only time that I've ever been frightened about a job, because in America they tell stories over such a long time, and I was petrified that I'd get bored." ~ Lennie James

3. "My favorite television show of all time is 'Hill Street Blues.' I think it's the show that is to television what Pele was to football or Muhammad Ali was to boxing." ~ Lennie James

4. "I owe 'Jericho' my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with." ~ Lennie James

5. "I went to an all boys' school in South London and the only god was sport." ~ Lennie James

6. "I'm part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films." ~ Lennie James

7. "I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film." ~ Lennie James

8. "My thing is, I like playing guys who have a really interesting internal monologue." ~ Lennie James

9. "I don't usually like talking about acting or what my process is, and all those kinds of things, because I don't necessarily think it's helpful to talk about how I do my job." ~ Lennie James

10. "I'm not setting 'Jericho' up to be anything other than what it is, which is, you know, a piece of good, well thought-out, well put-together TV and entertainment." ~ Lennie James

11. "I've written virtually as long as I've acted, it wasn't a sudden transition. I acted in my first play when I was 16 and I wrote my first play when I was 17." ~ Lennie James

12. "If you look in real life, it is very hard to describe people as good people, bad people, heroes or villains. People aren't bad people. They all have their justifications." ~ Lennie James

Today's Quote

We're all trapped. It's always 1734. All of us, we're stuck in the same time capsule, the same as those television shows where the same people are marooned on the same desert island for thirty seasons and never age or escape. They just wear more makeup. In a creepy way, those shows are maybe too authentic."
