And the very fact of how you speak somehow influences who you are. The way you move, the way you think, it seeps into your being, and it's quite hard to really break that down entirely.

I still am a geek, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I see no shame in having an unhealthy obsession with something.

Some people live more in 20 years than others do in 80. It's not the time that matters, it's the person.

I'm a good person, I hope. But I'm never as good as I want to be, never as nice as I want to be, never as generous as I want to be.

I've always been a geek and slightly awkward… slightly umm… I was never the cool kid at school.

If you speak in a different accent, you begin to move in a slightly different way. You think in a slightly different way. It's part of trying to find what makes a character.

To have someone who's got a strong individual voice that is allowed to be heard is quite increasingly rare. These people need to be cherished.

I think if my eight-year-old self could see me at the Royal Albert Hall winning a prize for playing the Doctor on telly, he would need a stiff shot of Irn-Bru.

Moths are the ones that freak me out. It's something to do with the way that, if they get squashed, they turn to dust. There's something very wrong about that. It all feels a bit Gothic.

It's very hard to be objective about something you're in, especially when you set it up against things that you experienced as a child.

How galling to watch someone who looks like you, who basically is you, do all the shagging you didn't get to do.

I once broke up with a boy because he wrote me an awful poem.

I have come to see that exploration is not a practice of the unfaithful, but rather is exactly what being a follower of Christ is actually all about.

I think that time might be different for young people. The minutes longer, stronger, more vibrant.

I want to be fighting for a society accountable towards its citizens.

Life is just a bag of pot.

I don't care who you are, I care who you want to be.

I'm like most people. We just concentrate on the present. I live right where the film is going through the film projector and it hits the light.

The truth is the light and the light is the truth.

Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read.

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement.
