John Simm's quotes

• I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though... Maybe my wife would disagree.
• I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place, I think, in the country that I could live.
• I can't watch shows like The X Factor (2004), for instance. I just squirm for the people involved, for the way they're being used. It's the cruellest, most ridiculous show on television. It's ruined music, ruined everything.
• You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it.
• Success, however you judge what that even means, brings with it certain pressures.
• When I got to 40, I was happy. Now I can wear what I like, listen to what I like, don't have to try and be cool. I'm someone's dad and it doesn't matter any more. That's an enormous freedom.
• Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people. It delights me how witty and friendly most people are.
• I'm good at being on my own. As a kid, I was always in my room alone, so I have a high threshold for it. If I'm bored, I'll read. Hanging around doesn't go well with me.
• I used to be mouthy. It was all to do with being a northerner and from Manchester, which was suddenly a big deal when I was in my 20s. When I read some of the interviews I did back then, I cringe.
• It's horrible to get a cameraphone shoved in your face every time you walk out the door.
• I'm not a people person. I'm not sociable. I have been and I can be, but not as a general rule.
• [in 2011] I'm incredibly proud of Life on Mars (2006) and Doctor Who (2005). They're just a blast to do. Why not? You do the serious stuff, the classical stuff, the populist stuff and sci-fi stuff. You're an actor, try everything.
• I spent most of my youth in Manchester, in clubs and football grounds and the Manchester Apollo.
• Critics should be to actors what ornithologists are to birds: they can write all they want, but it shouldn't affect them.
• I do get a lot of Doctor Who (2005). God almighty, I'll be so happy when that's gone from my life. I'm not the Master. I'm not that evil Time Lord who rules the galaxy. I'm just in Tesco with my kids. Leave me alone.
