fortunate frank hard mean nature rewarded ways work
It's hard work, 'Doctor Who,' but let's be frank about it, I'm fortunate to be rewarded in the ways that I am. I don't just mean financially, I mean the nature of the part and everything that comes with it.
age awful early fact favourite frank god love sinatra song
I'm awful at karaoke, but if I did have to sing, I'd go for my favourite Frank Sinatra song 'I've Got You Under My Skin.' The fact I love Frank is my grandfather's doing: he drummed it into me from a very early age that Frank Sinatra is God.
achievement direct family good greatest love quite
I quite like the idea of family. That's probably the greatest achievement in the world. I've got a lot to achieve workwise - I'd love to direct - but family would be good.
catching cup good paper piece throw
If I see a spider in the flat, I try to get a cup and a piece of paper and throw it out of the window. I can't kill them because they're good for catching flies.
Spiders - the way they move freaks me out. It's so malevolent.

We're focusing on what our program is going to be rather than what it was.
house seats
There are no seats in the house where you can't see a TV.

There is a history of footballers in my family; my granddad played for Notts County and my dad played at county level.
balls good ground job strikes throwing
What he does a good job of doing is throwing strikes and getting ground balls. He got a lot of ground balls today.
dad doctors mad
I would be sitting in my flat watching TV, and 'Doctor Who' would be on with my flatmate there. I would have loved to share the fact that I was the new Doctor, but I couldn't. I was going mad. My dad was rather flabbergasted. When I told him, he laughed. He was excited, elated and very proud.
names giving crayon
Big flashy things have my name written all over them. Well... not yet, give me time and a crayon.
christian art thinking
I think Christians should be leaders in art, science, philanthropy, charity, and all kinds of good works. We should be good examples for everyone. Unfortunately though, that's not often the case.
fancy dresses honest
I am a fancy dress grump, to be honest.
silence stories loud
By not speaking you don't get rid of the story, you just open up a silence, which can be just as loud.
