county dad family history played
There is a history of footballers in my family; my granddad played for Notts County and my dad played at county level.
great hard played proud second team
That's a great team we just played. We played so hard in the second half. I'm really proud of that. It was a great game.
constantly weeks
Every two weeks on 'Doctor Who,' the set is completely different, the world is different and there are new actors coming in. So, it's constantly surprising, and it's a pressure that you relish, actually.
behind felt happy hope lap leader race third time
I just wanted to tuck in behind the leader on the first two laps, then take the lead on the third lap if I felt good. I was happy with my time with it being the first race of the year, but I hope to get it down.

I'll be more than happy to go to the mall tomorrow.
affects ball cold great knocked weather
It was great golf. The cold weather just knocked off a little distance. Cold affects ball flight.
asked inventive love piano rock
I asked for a piano in the TARDIS, but it hasn't happened. I'd love to see the Doctor rock up and play, but it'd have to be done in an inventive and silly way.
game hate hope last north shore until wait
I hope to get to 10 before the North Shore tournament. I'd hate to wait until the last game or second-to-last game.
sports art real
I think there are definite parallels between sport and art. There's a real sense of sacrifice. There's a real sense of dedication that is needed in sport that I think you can attribute to art. I think so much of it is about bravery and courage, being an actor.
sacrifice dedication discipline
Being an actor is about having the courage to follow your instincts, and also having the discipline and dedication to sacrifice the things in your life that you need to sacrifice to get the best out of yourself artistically.
thinking data issues
Making people think about data outside of the office environment somehow makes it easier to connect with the issue you are trying to overcome within it.
thinking forgotten should
History will only ever be partial, to a large extent history tells us what we think should be remembered and what should be forgotten, I find that really problematic.
unique people style
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.
song writing trying
When I write, I'm writing as a fan, and trying to come up with songs that I would want to listen to.
