Being an actor is about having the courage to follow your instincts, and also having the discipline and dedication to sacrifice the things in your life that you need to sacrifice to get the best out of yourself artistically.

I think Jennifer Saunders would be great in 'Doctor Who.'

Actors, movie stars, rock stars, I can meet them with no worries - but with footballers I go weak at the knees. All of them.

A lot of times, people have forgotten about an album by the time it's released, because it leaked three months earlier. Very strange days we live in.

History will only ever be partial, to a large extent history tells us what we think should be remembered and what should be forgotten, I find that really problematic.

It's very rare that I play cool people. I'm not sure what that says about me.

I think expectations of Doctor Who should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.
