Jamie Bell Information
Quotes
"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 just an award although it is a big one. It is no good getting too big-headed. I've been very busy and I'm very tired. I've been given advice, you know on speech-making and things like that. It's kind of weird that the other guys didn't win because they're such big guys."

"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' 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 wouldn't do a Macaulay. I have sensible people around me. I see this industry as a risky business. The money thing has always been in my control. I have always had people looking after it for me. I do love buying things - stupid gadgets. I'll say, 'I want one of them.' But I do the sensible thing, knuckle down, do some good work and keep a low profile."

"I go because that's where the work is, but I like, use and abuse. I fly in for the meetings, then fly out. That community is really small, so everybody knows each other. I kind of don't like that. It's not really a community I feel very welcome in."

"I love looking down my r?um and seeing all those great people on it like David Gordon Green, and of course Peter Jackson and Stephen Daldry. When I look at it, I feel very proud for myself and the people around me who have managed to get me these roles."

"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."

"I know people think that if you've had success young you're going to blow it, but did you see Batman, did you see Christian Bale? He's so on top of his game. I've worked with a Culkin - Rory, he's a totally centered guy and he's something ridiculous, like 15. Whatever happened with Macaulay I don't know. The kid isn't messed up. Something happens to the kid to make them messed up. People are not born messed up. Things happen. People should be more sensitive."

"Inner demons? Got none of them. I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst."
