JVDB/Dawson Leery #18: We are loving funny James on Apartment 23!

Dawson Leery, the romantic of Dawson's Creek, played by James van der beek, was the guy that every girl dreamed of, smart, funny, sweet, and handsome. And even though he got his heart broken many times and has been through so much, he never stopped beliving in his dream and his friends.

Quotes:
James about Dawson:

"He has the rare fortune of knowing what he wants to do early in life. And like anyone I care about, I want to see him succeed and get his chance to do what he loves, just like this show has given us that same chance."

"Dawson's overactive imagination and idealism sometimes make him oblivious. He's prown to rejecting reality for a more romantic scenario. He's a bit of an innocent and is frequently off in his own little world." - James Van Der Beek

"Dawson reminds me of myself when I was fifteen" - James Van Der Beek

"Dawson is a tragically nice guy and so am I."

"Like Dawson, I wasn't cool."

Amongst the crew of Dawson's Creek James was known as the serious romantic of the group.






Dawson Quotes


Dawson: Get out of the gutter. No thing-a-ma-jig involved. It was just the sweetest, most romantic, Fourth of July fireworky, waves crashing on the shore, beyond any movie I could ever imagine kiss.

Dawson: Edge is fleeting, heart lasts forever.

Joey: Yes, you can. I mean, not just for me or my family's sake but for us. I'm telling you, Dawson. We won't survive this.

Dawson: That's a risk that I'm willing to take. Because I care about you more than I care about myself. And somebody has to do the right thing. If you can't, then I will.


Dawson:The first time I sleep with somebody I don't want it to be for just any reason. I want it to be for every reason.


Dawson: I wanted to tell a story about... something small, something personal, something I've been... tryin' to figure out for quite some time. I wanted to write about growing up... and why it's so hard. And... I wanted to write about falling in love and why it can't last, but at the same time, how it lasts forever


Other characters about Dawson


Joey
Joey:... I've always believed in you. I mean, you're the most extraordinary, talented person that I've ever met. I'm your biggest fan.

Joey: Well, you can't keep it a secret forever, Dawson.
Dawson: What's that?
Joey: How incredible you are.

Joey: You rule. You rock. You are a golden god. Now, accept it.

Pacey

Pacey:... You take in stray dogs, Dawson. You help old women cross the street. You just say no. You are Jimmy Stewart

Jen

Jen: Listen. I... it's the least I can do for the guy who restores my faith in the opposite sex.

Jen:..I have tried, okay? I have tried to live my life just like you. I just don't have that sort of hope. But if everybody did people like you wouldn't be so special.


Others

Mitch:..I've always taken pride in the fact that my son is someone his friends can turn to when they need him.

Mitch: Son or not, Dawson... you are one of my favorite people.

Gail: You have been a miracle this year, Dawson. My miracle. I'm not gonna let you forget that.

Grams: Dawson, you are just about the nicest young man I know. With the exception of Jack, of course...

Gretchen:The second you become aware of just how charming you are, you're going to use your powers for evil.

Gretchen: You have better judgment than anyone I know, Dawson. Probably better than anybody that Brooks knew. That's why he chose you. I don't think he saw how young you were and figured that you would be more likely to contribute to his end. I think he saw how old your heart is and he knew that whatever choice you made, would be the right one.

Mr. Brennan (about what Mitch thought about Dawson): He was proud, though. How do I know that, huh? Well, when I mentioned your name, his whole face just lit up. He said you were this brave kid, but he had no idea how you got to be that way. He said you had a romantic streak a mile long, and he said he was proud to know you.

Mr. Potter: I, uh, have to say that I'm really impressed with what you've done with your life, Dawson. I mean, I've known this kid since he was running around making movies with a video camera. It's really amazing to see how far he's come.

Audrey: How come your film geek looks like TOM CRUISE and the one who worships me looks like the kid who doesn't want to go to the dance in sixteen candles?

Audrey: That boy is a gem.

Natasha : You know, you're gonna make some girl's dreams come true someday, in a big way, which is why I have to stop this now before I break your heart and turn you into a bitter cynic.

Of course I do! You told me once, so I remembered

I'll add you right away!

It's amazing - he turned criticism into comedy and it's hilarious. I love how he doesn't take himself to seriously.

That is something I currently respect about James, that he doesn't take himself seriously and can laugh at himself. I loved his funny or die videos.

They were brilliant!

Absolutely! I think, with most stars, the fame can get to your head quickly. I'm glad he can mock himself a bit
