thinking ponds amy-pond
I can’t think of anyone else I’d travel around the universe with than Amy Pond.

I'm not handsome enough to be James Bond. Maybe a villain, though.
stories ends doctor-who
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.
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.
vampire
I just love vampires.
mountain balance desert
No one can improve on nature's landscapes. I feel I've hit the mark when I've captured a balance between mood, look, and feel... when viewers say they sense the desert heat, or the chill of a mountain snowfall.
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.
twilight thinking doctors
There’s rivalry between the Harry Potter fans and the Twilight fans. And Twilight fans think they’re much cooler than the Harry Potter fans. And I’m like, I dunno why, they’d all get their butts kicked by the Doctor Who fans.
