character smell actors
As an actor I can sort of smell a duff note, that isn't full of that much conviction. My worst thing with directors is when I know more than them about the character.
mind actors stories
Directing made me realise what I do as an actor that's extraneous, it focuses your mind on story, story, story.
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.
artist comic stamps
One of the exciting things about producing a comic is seeing the artist stamp his own interpretation on it.
terrible sleepers
I am a terrible sleeper.
kids becoming footballer
I got injured when I was a kid, and it prevented me from becoming a footballer.
play people not-sure
It's very rare that I play cool people. I'm not sure what that says about me.
smart silly gun
Now, the question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica? Answer, I do. Next question, who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me, no plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else - I don't have anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you. And then, and THEN, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.
thinking doctors would-be
I think Jennifer Saunders would be great in 'Doctor Who.'
handsome villain enough
I'm not handsome enough to be James Bond. Maybe a villain, though.
stories ends doctor-who
We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
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.
fans sock
I am a fan of a bright sock. They're bold.
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.
