The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Lennie James

  • If you look in real life, it is very hard to describe people as good people, bad people, heroes or villains. People aren’t bad people. They all have their justifications.
  • When I was growing up and watching ‘The Sweeney,’ the notion of police officers being an inch away from the villains that they’re chasing was commonplace.
  • I was dreading all of the ghost stories of working on American television, not in the least, the length. In Britain, a series is six episodes of an hour drama, maybe sometimes eight, but never twenty-two, so I was petrified of that.
  • My favorite television show of all time is ‘Hill Street Blues.’ I think it’s the show that is to television what Pele was to football or Muhammad Ali was to boxing.
  • I’ve worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I’d be playing in a film.
  • One of the things I liked about playing Tony Gates in ‘Line of Duty’ was that I don’t think he gave much thought to justifying his actions until he was under investigation.
  • I’m not a broad comic, but I think I can be funny and I think I make people laugh.
  • I’m not setting ‘Jericho’ up to be anything other than what it is, which is, you know, a piece of good, well thought-out, well put-together TV and entertainment.
  • I’m part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films.
  • I owe ‘Jericho’ my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with.
