I can’t think of anyone else I’d travel around the universe with than Amy Pond.

We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
doctors generations rest-of-your-life
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.
strong men ties
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.
fans sock
I am a fan of a bright sock. They're bold.
class physicians transition
I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you're playing a builder you get to know about building, if you're playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive... that's part of the reason I love it.
song school writing
I started writing songs in high school and always wanted to have a band, and eventually my creative endeavors developed into Theocracy. So in some ways, you could say the vision has been there since I started writing songs.
majority comedy infatuation
The majority of romantic comedy movies have nothing to do with love, but everything to do with infatuation.

magic time-travel concepts
Time travel is such a magic concept.
teenage turtles cartoon
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.
real fiction appetite
It seems like there's a real appetite for science fiction in the States.
