kids spiders used
Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.
silly ties boots
Even now, I'm very superstitious, in silly ways. I always put my left boot on first. Or on set, I always tie my bow tie from right to left.
stars rocks worry
Actors, movie stars, rock stars, I can meet them with no worries - but with footballers I go weak at the knees. All of them.
ponds amy-pond amy
Amy Pond is, er...I've sort of fallen in love with Amy Pond.
kids doctors appreciate
Kids should feel afraid of 'Doctor Who.' All the adults I've talked to remember fondly being afraid when they were kids. That's part of the reason they remember it and love it. And if you're afraid in a controlled way, you sort of appreciate fear in some respect.
stupid brave be-brave
Be brave. Don't be afraid to be stupid.
color drawing design
You can eliminate color and still have a painting that works, but you must have drawing, value and design.
cynical
As we get older - perhaps I'm just speaking for myself - we can get too cynical.
silence stories loud
By not speaking you don't get rid of the story, you just open up a silence, which can be just as loud.
blue yellow four
My palette contains a warm and cool of each primary, plus four modifiers: Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Blue-Violet and Phthalo Yellow-Green just mix as I go for each painting.
moving thinking long
When you think about it, we’re all different people all through our lives, and that’s okay, that’s good, you’ve got to keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.
thinking years play
It's been four years. It's been the best four years. It's been wonderful, it's been a privilege to work under Steven Moffat. But I think when you gotta go, you gotta go It's sad, I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss Comic-Con as well. It wasn't an easy decision, but I dunno, you can't play it forever. And, look, they'll get someone amazing and brilliant, and that's the great thing about the show. It continues, and it will get bigger and better. And you'll forget about me.
next-week events albums
There's too much of everything - too many bands, too many albums, too much information all the time. You're seeing fewer album releases treated as big events, because of the influx. It's almost a "here this week, forgotten next week" thing.
beautiful self focus
When something in life occurs that is troubling, we are supposed to not dwell on the thing itself. Instead, the focus should be on our obligation to turn this bad thing into something beautiful. It's not easy. But, if you focus your creative energy away from self-torture and onto ‘how you can turn this into something beautiful’ pretty remarkable things start to happen.
