A Quote by James Purefoy

I've never been "celeb-y" actor. You know, you don't catch me falling out of nightclubs at three o'clock in the morning. Well, very rarely! But I find it all a bit baffling, the whole celeb thing and I don't really get it.
I was Top Celeb. There's only a short step I think from being Top Celeb to hosting it.
Celeb crushes? Chris Brown - I hope he doesn't really find out.
Before a celeb or a star, I am an actor.
When you're an experienced celeb - which I am - you sometimes just need a bit of space, when you're not 'on'. I'm always on!
I am basically very introvert and shy, but when in the presence of the audience, my celeb image requires me to reciprocate their affection.
I couldn't do 'I'm A Celeb' because I know too much.
The thing I simply hate about my job is any 'celeb' coverage.
Yes, there's such a thing as luck in trial law but it only comes at 3 o'clock in the morning. You'll still find me in the library looking for luck at 3 o'clock in the morning.
I'd probably do I'm a Celeb' but I just reckon that I wouldn't be very good at it because I'm terrified of everything.
We're never really spotted falling out of nightclubs. We don't go to places where there are photographers hanging out.
The 'Celeb Juice' job was never mine - people just guessed - but it was quite funny to watch the rumours.
Winning 'I'm A Celeb' has massively affected my love life because it's very rare to meet someone that doesn't recognise me now because the jungle is so big.
I had been obsessed with insects and creepy-crawlies: I used to get up at five o'clock in the morning and go out into this field behind our garden and collect insects before everyone else got up, and suddenly, all I wanted to know about was music. It just seemed a very, very strange thing.
The first time I met Harrison, I think, was at the very first read through of the script. As anyone would be, I was a bit nervous before meeting him. I mean, it's Han Solo, so it was quite crazy. But once you get to know him, he really is such an amazing person. He's such an amazing actor as well. As I said before, his presence really does get the best out of you as an actor.
Most of the time when I have met artists who have meant a lot to me, the experience has been well above expectation. People like Iggy, Lou Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Black Sabbath, Nick Cave, Hubert Selby Jr, Billy Gibbons, Al Pacino, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Johnny Cash etc. have been really great to me. What strikes me is most of the time, the bigger the celeb/legend, the more polite and cool they are. It's the insecure ones who treat you like they're doing you a favor by shaking your hand.
In the past I've been very into the falling part, very into the swimming in the dark, deep emotional water. 'Rampart' I really went into it and it took me three times as long to get out of that depression as it did to just do the scenes. I had to learn to give it my all and then go home and laugh.
