I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you're playing a builder you get to know about building, if you're playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive... that's part of the reason I love it.

I am terribly clumsy, so there is a plethora of walking into lamp-posts, falling over, dropping things, and ruining sofas.

When I write, I'm writing as a fan, and trying to come up with songs that I would want to listen to.

I am a terrible sleeper.

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

I'm not hugely technical with things, but I guess that the thing I use most is my iPhone, on a practical level.

I think there are definite parallels between sport and art. There's a real sense of sacrifice. There's a real sense of dedication that is needed in sport that I think you can attribute to art. I think so much of it is about bravery and courage, being an actor.
