I’m an openly gay man playing an omnisexual hero, who is loved on both sides of the Atlantic. How could I not be proud of that?

You know, every year 'Torchwood' has become something a little different than it was before. It's still sci-fi, but it doesn't just deal with spaceships and aliens all the time, because we've done that. Our science fiction is more psychological.

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.

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.

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.

When I was a kid growing up in the States in the late '70s and early '80s, as soon as 'Dallas' came on on a Friday night on CBS at 9 P.M., we stopped everything from that moment on as a family.

My first professional job was actually at a place called Opryland USA, which no longer exists, but I've been performing since I was a kid.
