If you do something and it goes wrong, you learn from it and you move on.

You know, every year 'Torchwood' has become something a little different than it was before. It's still sci-fi, but it doesn't just deal with spaceships and aliens all the time, because we've done that. Our science fiction is more psychological.

I don't call myself an actor, I call myself an entertainer, because I don't just do one thing.

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.

I have a real passion for driving. Earlier on in my life I wanted to be a race car driver. But I don't pay an extortionate amount of money for cars. I'm pretty frugal.

I've always said in my career and in my life I only do things I'm interested in.

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