The person who gives you your first job is so important in any industry.

I don't like to watch playback. But being on the set, watching the way the camera is being moved and the way the light is being used, you do get an idea of it.

I used my instincts. It's very easy to imagine how you'd feel, actually. I just had to tell the narrative.

I had bags of energy as a kid.

I loved playing [the Doctor], and taking part in the basic essence and message of the series which is, it's a short life, seize it, and live it as fully as you can. Care for others. Be respectful of all other life forms, regardless of colour or creed. To be part of that was fantastic.

I know exactly where I've come from, I know exactly who my mum and dad are.

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.
