I've always been a geek and slightly awkward… slightly umm… I was never the cool kid at school.

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.

How galling to watch someone who looks like you, who basically is you, do all the shagging you didn't get to do.

Back in 2005, when I was Christopher Eccleston, we saw one of the largest increases on record, of CO2 in the atmosphere. Unless we keep the rise in global temperature to under 2 degrees, by the time I'm Daniel Radcliffe or wee Jimmy Crankie, I won't be able to save the planet. I won't be here to help you -- well I might, but I'll be that bloke who won Any Dream Will Do.

I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

I still am a geek, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I see no shame in having an unhealthy obsession with something.

I think doing different accents is part of the job of acting, really. It's something else that I quite enjoy the challenge of, to be honest.
