describing Lytham St. Annes, the town of his birth). Dean: A posh little seaside town near Blackpool, where we get out of the bath to go for a wee.
(on his close friend, Richard Coyle). Dean: Rich's worst trait is that he's a worrier. He was getting married in the August and he started worrying in January.

When we hug we hold each other longer than we should - it's man love and we're very open with our love for each other.
(on Kev from "Shameless"). Dean Lennox Kelly: With Kev, what you see is what you get. He’s very honest and lovable, although he’s not the brightest button.
(on playing Shakespeare in "Doctor Who"). Dean Lennox Kelly: I'm not the obvious choice to play Shakespeare. But they didn't want your archetypal Shakespeare. They wanted him to be more like a 15th century rock star. The director kept saying to me, 'Think Liam Gallagher with lyrical genius.'
