always-trying important lyrical
Lyrical content is very important to me. I'm always trying to make sure the lyrics and music complement each other perfectly.
heart writing trying
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.
character smell actors
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.
mind actors stories
Directing made me realise what I do as an actor that's extraneous, it focuses your mind on story, story, story.
transition my-family places-in-your-life
Nothing can prepare you for the changes that take place in your life - for the changes, not only in my life, but my family's. Nothing can prepare you for the enormity and the transition that you go through.
artist comic stamps
One of the exciting things about producing a comic is seeing the artist stamp his own interpretation on it.
thinking color looks
In the landscape, colors are more neutral than you may think. Pay close attention to this. Small areas of rich color can make the whole painting look colorful.
terrible sleepers
I am a terrible sleeper.
kids becoming footballer
I got injured when I was a kid, and it prevented me from becoming a footballer.
play people not-sure
It's very rare that I play cool people. I'm not sure what that says about me.
smart silly gun
Now, the question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica? Answer, I do. Next question, who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me, no plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else - I don't have anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you. And then, and THEN, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.
thinking doctors expectations
I think expectations of 'Doctor Who' should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.
thinking doctors would-be
I think Jennifer Saunders would be great in 'Doctor Who.'
song thinking people
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.
