Burn Gorman's Quotes
- (On why he is an actor): I've learnt something new everyday. When you get to the point that you're not learning, you need to stop. I think and either take a break, or give up and become a plumber or something because it's important to remain motivated and driven.
- [on his reaction to his character Owen in Torchwood] I've always wanted to be the Weevil King!
- I'm afraid the Doctor Who (2005) door is probably closed because of me being in Torchwood (2006).
- I always look up to people like Michael Gambon and Tommy Lee Jones, and I hope that as I mature I will become as craggy as them.
- The cliches are all true! My son Max has just turned two, and he's literally turned into this driven young man overnight! The terrible twos are not a myth, but he's such a laugh to be around.
