Never apologize for being nerdy, because un-nerdy people never apologize for being assholes.

There's a lot of me in Captain Jack and there's a lot of Captain Jack in me. And there is no pun intended.

Have I ever been the shy retiring type? Never. Not since the day I was born.

We get the scripts before the table read, but I don't look at them until we go into the table read. I don't want to know, when I'm playing a moment in the current episode, what's going to happen because it might change how I'm playing that.

Honestly, the world can be a dark enough place. Light it up.

I find with television, you have to play personality, whereas onstage, everyone talks about "the character," and what you do. It's a very different thing, because stage is much bigger, but on television, for things to come across to the public, I think you have to play a bit of your personality.

It wasn't until I got involved in Doctor Who that I started doing dramas on television.
