More quotes by Christopher Eccleston
I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.
Christopher Eccleston
I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.

I loved playing [the Doctor], and taking part in the basic essence and message of the series which is, it's a short life, seize it, and live it as fully as you can. Care for others. Be respectful of all other life forms, regardless of colour or creed. To be part of that was fantastic.
Christopher Eccleston
I had to help to coax the performances and I really enjoyed that extra responsibility.
Christopher Eccleston

I know exactly where I've come from, I know exactly who my mum and dad are.
Christopher Eccleston
I wasn't always such a great fan of Shakespeare, mind you. I can guess we all at one time had it rammed down our necks at school, which tends to take the edge off it.
Christopher Eccleston
I've never been up with the times, always been slightly out of step.
Christopher Eccleston
On The Others, very atmospheric and probably mysterious is how I would say it felt to be on the set. It felt just a little uneasy, the atmosphere that we were trying to capture.
Christopher Eccleston
I think the themes of belonging and parentage and love are obviously universal.
Christopher Eccleston
Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.
Christopher Eccleston
When you seek revenge, be sure to dig two graves.
Christopher Eccleston
I want to direct but I think I'd be bloody awful and I don't want to produce but I think I'd be a very good producer because if I believed in something I'd be able to protect it.
Christopher Eccleston
We all need a firm sense of identity.
