years space important
In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important
doctors generations rest-of-your-life
When I started Doctor Who Steven Moffat said, "That's it for the rest of your life." I'll be Doctor to a whole generation when they're 50.
sacrifice artist discipline
There are great disciplines from being a sportsman that you can transfer into being an artist. The preparation, the sacrifice, the constant desire to improve.
two eight trying
As an actor, you'll have ten parts in 2015 - eight of them will go to the other actors above you and two of them you might be close to, and you try to make them as good as you can.
doctors storytelling universal
The storytelling in 'Doctor Who' is quite universal.
mountain balance desert
No one can improve on nature's landscapes. I feel I've hit the mark when I've captured a balance between mood, look, and feel... when viewers say they sense the desert heat, or the chill of a mountain snowfall.
class physicians transition
I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you're playing a builder you get to know about building, if you're playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive... that's part of the reason I love it.
twilight thinking doctors
There’s rivalry between the Harry Potter fans and the Twilight fans. And Twilight fans think they’re much cooler than the Harry Potter fans. And I’m like, I dunno why, they’d all get their butts kicked by the Doctor Who fans.
majority comedy infatuation
The majority of romantic comedy movies have nothing to do with love, but everything to do with infatuation.
transition my-family places-in-your-life
Nothing can prepare you for the changes that take place in your life - for the changes, not only in my life, but my family's. Nothing can prepare you for the enormity and the transition that you go through.
mind actors stories
Directing made me realise what I do as an actor that's extraneous, it focuses your mind on story, story, story.
always-trying important lyrical
Lyrical content is very important to me. I'm always trying to make sure the lyrics and music complement each other perfectly.
unique people style
There's something very intimate about taking someone's work, turning it over and unpicking it. In the same way people have unique handwriting people have a sewing style. You do start building a fantasy relationship with the person.
sacrifice dedication discipline
Being an actor is about having the courage to follow your instincts, and also having the discipline and dedication to sacrifice the things in your life that you need to sacrifice to get the best out of yourself artistically.
