Theo James Quotes

English - Actor Born: December 16, 1984

We're in a world where masculinity, especially with these big spectacle movies, is often pushed by rippling six packs and forcing an image down someone's throat trying to prove masculinity. Whereas I think true masculinity comes from having a strong sense of self. Theo James

Sea, Ocean, Loved, Thought, Thinking

People say that New Yorkers aren't friendly, but I think they're more friendly than Londoners. Here there is a front-footed nature of Americans.

Nature, People, Night, Random, Think

Diving into Internet speculation is like playing with the devil. It's tempting, of course. Theo James

'Divergent' is a story about people who don't fit into a category - that is a big part of the message - but it's also about conformity and forcing people into these simple archetypes. At the end of the day, humans don't exist like that. We're multifaceted. Theo James

Simple, Day, People, End, Story, Big

You know what actors are like. You can sometimes be like, 'Darling, darling, we love each other,' but you don't really know them. Theo James

New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves. All these cliches that, as an Englishman, I thought were from a bygone era or were a bit of poetic license with cop shows - the more you hang out with them, the more you realize how real that jargon is. Theo James

New York, Thought, New, You, Way, Talk

I don't think I believe in ghosts, per se. But, my nearest experience was when I went on a weekend away and was in a bar in England, years ago, with an ex-girlfriend. I heard this scratching. I was about to go to bed and I was thinking, 'It's an old ghost.' I could hear this noise, but I couldn't work out where it was coming from. Theo James

Work, Experience, Believe, Thinking, Bed

What is interesting, as well, is how much power homicide detectives have and how much respect. They are kind of rock stars, especially in New York. There are not that many of them. Theo James

Stars, Power, Respect, New York, Rock

In Britain, you do your job. When you do an American TV show, there is a sense of being one with the crew, and there is a leadership element, which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain, you just do it, leave and say, 'Thanks.' Theo James

Leadership, Learning, Job, Me, Thanks

Family, Love, Change, Friends, Think

End, Start, Finish, Think, Know, You
