I love people where, at the end of the day, they'll pick up a paintbrush and paint clouds. They can physically make things.

I haven't played Doctor Who since I was 9 on the playground.

I think that people like the idea that fans are sort of slightly eccentric and strange, but generally I've just found them very creative and warm and cheerful.

The older I get, the more I think lightness of touch is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

I'm so lucky to have worked with Burt Lancaster, who I remember was one of the first people I'd heard swearing in a really interesting way.

I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.

I hate restaurants that play music. You come out for a quiet meal, and you're supposed to put up with all this booming. Why? It's madness!
