Actors, movie stars, rock stars, I can meet them with no worries - but with footballers I go weak at the knees. All of them.

As an actor I can sort of smell a duff note, that isn't full of that much conviction. My worst thing with directors is when I know more than them about the character.

Time travel is such a magic concept.

My palette contains a warm and cool of each primary, plus four modifiers: Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Blue-Violet and Phthalo Yellow-Green just mix as I go for each painting.

Read about a few men who wear (or wore) bow ties as an act of defiance, and check out a tie that makes a strong statement. Bow ties are cool.

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

Image
We didn't start Theocracy because we wanted to be cool like so-and-so and make money. Our songs aren't trendy, and our lyrics hopefully make people think about certain concepts in a new way.

Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.

One of the exciting things about producing a comic is seeing the artist stamp his own interpretation on it.
Matt Smith
Image
I think expectations of Doctor Who should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.

There's something very intimate about taking someone's work, turning it over and unpicking it. In the same way people have unique handwriting people have a sewing style. You do start building a fantasy relationship with the person.
