- Quoted by the Telegraph. On the set of Being Human (8 January 2010)
- I feel like I could have been really effeminate, if I hadn’t gone to the school I went to. Where I felt like I had to toughen up. If I’d have been able to relax, prance around, sing in the street, I might be a different person now. I thank my dad for that, for not allowing me to go down that path. Because it’s probably given me the unique quality that people think I have.
- Quoted in the Guardian. Russell Tovey: he may be proud but is the ‘worst gay ever’ actually sorry? (3 March 2015). Tovey later apologised after others criticized him for suggesting that effeminacy was 'wrong'.
