    <![CDATA[With graduation looming, the school guidance counselor asked John what he wanted to do with his life. John replied, &quot;I want to go into the arts.&quot; The counselor said, &quot;Okay, but what do you want to do to fall back on?&quot; John replied, &quot;If I have to have something to fall on, it will have to be my ass.&quot; <p>&quot;Anything Goes&quot; traces the life and career of John Barrowman from his Glaswegian childhood and American adolescence to his first big break starring alongside Elaine Paige in &quot;Anything Goes.&quot; Since then, John has made a name for himself with unmatched West End achievements, including an Olivier Award nomination, and success in the movies &quot;The Producers&quot; and &quot;De-Lovely.&quot; Television success was also assured when Torchwood won a Best Drama BAFTA. John also lays bare his personal life: his emigration as a child, coming out to his family, turning down a job at Disney and his 2006 civil partnership with long-term partner Scott Gill. &quot;Anything Goes&quot; is revelatory and insightful, told with real heart and characteristic Barrowman charm. This is a wonderful tale of how one boy achieved his dreams.</p>]]>
