I think my biggest appeal for fans is probably the fact that I'm honest. I'm up front about who I am. I'm a little naughty. I have a naughty side and everybody knows that. But I know when to use that and when not to.

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

I don't think nudity is a bad thing, I don't think people should be embarrassed about their bodies, and I don't mind whipping it out.

The one thing that makes 'Torchwood' work so brilliantly and makes it a little bit above the rest of all other sci-fi dramas out there is that we have a sense of humour.

You can be in the public eye all the time and still have a private life, but the important thing is to keep in touch with the people who put you there.

When I was a kid growing up in the States in the late '70s and early '80s, as soon as 'Dallas' came on on a Friday night on CBS at 9 P.M., we stopped everything from that moment on as a family.

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