To be honest, I don’t think there’s any other show like ‘Doctor Who’ at all.

Art informs life in so many ways, and vice versa.

If I'm with a group of people, I'm okay, but actually I'm quite a nervous person if I'm just one-to-one with somebody.

I think it's the people that you work with who change you the most.

I was really lucky for the friends that I had and loved every minute of it. I don't think I was a geek, but I loved the studies and we had a really good theater company at our school.

I like playing the social convention. If you're in a period drama, there's always something dancing underneath the surface as a human - but then you always have to conform to the social conventions around you, and those two things get to be juxtaposed against each other. You're being human, but you're trapped within the social convention of the time.

I'd love to work across all three fields - theatre, film and TV.
