Jamie Bell's quotes

  • [on why he continued pursuing ballet despite the mockery] - "The other boys called me 'poof', 'ballerina boy', "Get on your tutu, Jamie." It gave me more determination to prove it wasn't just for girls. It was for boys as well."
  • (It's true that) most British movies are emotional and I agree that most American actors look manufactured. It's a shame.
  • Ballet is very hard. It takes a lot of practice to get to a certain standard. You have to know a lot about the steps because when you take examinations they'll ask you all about it.
  • "(Billy Elliot (2000)) got that (R-rating) because of the swearing. But it wouldn't be what it was without the swearing, kids need to swear".
  • I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England.
  • You probably won't see me dance in the movies again unless there's a 'Moulin Rouge 2' or 'Chicago Returns'.
  • I hate maths. I can't stand it. Circumferences of circles and stuff - it's horrible.
  • I think I became my own person dealing with my mother and sister. I never had a father figure so I never missed it. In fact, I thought it would be just another person to discipline me.
  • I can understand why everyone sees me as Billy Elliot; it was the first thing I did, so I was determined to take the most diverse route possible. It wasn't to annoy people, but it seems to have upset so many people.
  • Inner demons? Got none of them. I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst.
  • The young generation of actors are lazy. They don't do any work. They turn up, and say their lines. I would rather get better at what I do.
  • It's fortunate that I don't have to live with being Ballet Boy any more. After this I'll be called the nipple-circling dress-wearer or Rat Boy. - On his character Hallem Foe.
  • It makes no real difference because he was never there. Never having it (support from father), you don't really miss it. (My mother) raised me and my sister herself. That was incredibly difficult.
  • Learning my skill was more important than getting a big pay cheque or running away from big robots.
  • I have grown in confidence. And I do like to think I know the difference between confidence and arrogance.
  • I like being able to hide behind the characters I play. I like to be an elusive and anonymous actor.
  • I'm not delusional. I know I'm 5'7" with slightly jug ears.
