I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though... Maybe my wife would disagree.

You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it.

Success, however you judge what that even means, brings with it certain pressures.

I can't watch shows like 'The X Factor,' for instance. I just squirm for the people involved, for the way they're being used. It's the cruellest, most ridiculous show on television. It's ruined music, ruined everything.

I'm not a people person. I'm not sociable. I have been and I can be, but not as a general rule.

I'm incredibly proud of 'Life On Mars' and 'Doctor Who.' They're just a blast to do.
