I just love vampires.

I am a terrible sleeper.

I've always loved dinosaurs.

Time travel is such a magic concept.

Be brave. Don't be afraid to be stupid.

I am a fancy dress grump, to be honest.

I thought 'Skyfall' was a sumptuous film.

I am a fan of a bright sock. They're bold.

I used to love ninja movies. That was my thing.

The storytelling in 'Doctor Who' is quite universal.

I used to read Gore Vidal books and think I was cool.

I think Jennifer Saunders would be great in 'Doctor Who.'

We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

Amy Pond is, er...I've sort of fallen in love with Amy Pond.

Spiders - the way they move freaks me out. It's so malevolent.

I was always aware of 'Doctor Who,' but I didn't grow up with it.

Some people don't need to work hard because they are so talented.

I'm not handsome enough to be James Bond. Maybe a villain, though.

Overnight ratings are dead. It's just not the way TV is sold any more.

I always steal a pair of socks on every photo shoot I do. It's my thing.

It seems like there's a real appetite for science fiction in the States.

In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important

It's very rare that I play cool people. I'm not sure what that says about me.

I can’t think of anyone else I’d travel around the universe with than Amy Pond.

I got injured when I was a kid, and it prevented me from becoming a footballer.

As we get older - perhaps I'm just speaking for myself - we can get too cynical.

Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.

I think that, if the world was a bit more like Comic-Con, we'd all be a little happier.

Big flashy things have my name written all over them. Well... not yet, give me time and a crayon.

The fact that you've got zombies in this movie allows you to make slightly bolder choices tonally.

Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.

When I'm painting outdoors, I only have time to think about what I'm saying, not how I'm saying it.

When I write, I'm writing as a fan, and trying to come up with songs that I would want to listen to.

By not speaking you don't get rid of the story, you just open up a silence, which can be just as loud.

I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

You can eliminate color and still have a painting that works, but you must have drawing, value and design.

The majority of romantic comedy movies have nothing to do with love, but everything to do with infatuation.

One of the exciting things about producing a comic is seeing the artist stamp his own interpretation on it.

Directing made me realise what I do as an actor that's extraneous, it focuses your mind on story, story, story.

I'm not hugely technical with things, but I guess that the thing I use most is my iPhone, on a practical level.

As a kid, I knew all of the dinosaurs. It's one of those tragedies that I've forgotten what dinosaurs are cool.

There is a history of footballers in my family; my granddad played for Notts County and my dad played at county level.

I am terribly clumsy, so there is a plethora of walking into lamp-posts, falling over, dropping things, and ruining sofas.

Actors, movie stars, rock stars, I can meet them with no worries - but with footballers I go weak at the knees. All of them.

Lyrical content is very important to me. I'm always trying to make sure the lyrics and music complement each other perfectly.

I think expectations of Doctor Who should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.

I think expectations of 'Doctor Who' should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.

I'm not a tweeter or a Facebooker or a Grammer. I'm a real grump when it comes to technology. I'm like, come on, just write me a letter.

At university I had a big coloured scarf and people would often say, 'All right, Doctor Who?' And, I thought, I rather liked that notion.

I always go back and do theater. I love it. It keeps an actor improving in a way, it sort of keeps your craft alive, if that makes sense.
