The one thing that makes 'Torchwood' work so brilliantly and makes it a little bit above the rest of all other sci-fi dramas out there is that we have a sense of humour.

If you do something and it goes wrong, you learn from it and you move on.

I was the one who taught my sister and my niece how to walk in high heels.

For some reason I seem to be a massive hit with middle-aged women. I seriously don't know what it is.

I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.

Many things shaped my identity as a young boy: a strong selfworth (something that was instilled in all three Barrowman siblings by our parents), my immersion in theatre and music, and my DNA. I was born gay. It's not a choice I – or anyone else who is gay – made. If it were, why on earth would anyone choose to be part of a minority, part of a group that in so many cultures and countries, even in the twenty-first century, is regularly blasphemed, hounded and worse?

I'm one who will always speak my mind and say what I feel!
