Louis Theroux Quotes

• [in 2012] So the rumours seem to have been in some degree validated. I haven’t seen ITVs expose on Jimmy Savile yet, but from what I understand there are a number of credible accounts from under-aged teenaged girls of Jimmy abusing his position of trust and celebrity to procure sexual favours. I can’t say that I’m completely blindsided by these revelations. Still, it’s shocking and upsetting to have one’s worst fears confirmed. What is especially disturbing is the nature of the alleged abuse – that it apparently took place repeatedly, in the workplace and at a school he was visiting. My thoughts are with the victims. I hope they find peace.
• I’m not that comfortable doing polemic or being strident. It’s not me. I think what I’m good at is getting to know people, and trying to build a relationship over a few weeks and trying to get to the truth.
• As a student of bizarre organizations and eccentric people, the BBC feels like my natural home.

• Married his first wife to help her get a US work permit. Although a long-term couple, they never considered it a real marriage and Louis kept it private, only referring to her as his girlfriend in public.
• Lives in Harlesden, London with his wife Nancy and young sons Albert and Frederick.
• Holds dual UK and US citizenship.
