As we get older - perhaps I'm just speaking for myself - we can get too cynical.

I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

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.

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

I got injured when I was a kid, and it prevented me from becoming a footballer.

Amy Pond, there's something you'd better understand about me 'cause it's important, and one day your life may depend on it: I am definitely a mad man with a box!

I would be sitting in my flat watching TV, and 'Doctor Who' would be on with my flatmate there. I would have loved to share the fact that I was the new Doctor, but I couldn't. I was going mad. My dad was rather flabbergasted. When I told him, he laughed. He was excited, elated and very proud.
