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 constantly watch 'The Simpsons' and an English cartoon called 'The Raccoons' and 'Gummi Bears.' I was obsessed with ninja films, and the 'Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles,' I used to love that as well.

The storytelling in 'Doctor Who' is quite universal.

When I started Doctor Who Steven Moffat said, That's it for the rest of your life. I'll be Doctor to a whole generation when they're 50.

A theocracy is a government ruled directly by God, and for us it means Theocracy within. In other words, trying to live by God's principles instead of just living selfishly.

I am writing from the heart and having a fresh approach to things. We [Theocracy] are obviously not trying to musically re-invent the wheel here, and you can certainly hear our influences, but we also don't sound like a copycat of any one band.

I don't think anything could prepare you for whatever fame is. Fame is a very hard word to define cause it means different things to different people for different reasons so I never really think of it as fame, I think of it as part of the job.

If I could film, we'd film every episode of 'Doctor Who' in New York. I have an affinity with the city. It has some wonderful locations and it is devastatingly vast and huge. Central Park looks amazing on camera.
