Matt Smith's quotes

[on why he had no intention to become the longest serving Doctor Who] Tom Baker did it for seven years but he did it in different circumstances. I couldn't do this for seven years. I'd be run into the ground.
At university I had a big coloured scarf and people would often say, 'All right, Doctor Who (1963)?' And, I thought, I rather liked that notion.
As we get older - perhaps I'm just speaking for myself - we can get too cynical.
As a kid, I knew all of the dinosaurs. It's one of those tragedies that I've forgotten what dinosaurs are cool.
Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.
Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.
Actors, movie stars, rock stars, I can meet them with no worries - but with footballers I go weak at the knees. All of them.
If I was making a tea advert, I would want to communicate about tea is that it can console you, it can start your day, there is the warmth and the ritual, and you can share it; you make someone a cup of tea and you offer it to them.
I think that, if the world was a bit more like Comic-Con, we'd all be a little happier.
I just love vampires.
I am terribly clumsy, so there is a plethora of walking into lamp-posts, falling over, dropping things, and ruining sofas.
I'm not handsome enough to be James Bond. Maybe a villain, though.
I'd like to do a play in New York.
I was always aware of Doctor Who (1963), but I didn't grow up with it.
I used to read Gore Vidal books and think I was cool.
I used to love ninja movies. That was my thing.
I thought Skyfall (2012) was a sumptuous film.
I think Jennifer Saunders would be great in Doctor Who (2005).
I think expectations of Doctor Who (2005) should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.
I got injured when I was a kid, and it prevented me from becoming a footballer.
I am a terrible sleeper.
I am a fancy dress grump, to be honest.
I am a fan of a bright sock. They're bold.
I always steal a pair of socks on every photo shoot I do. It's my thing.
For clothes, I like Dover Street Market and Acne. For vintage, I go to Mint just off Seven Dials. For shoes, it's Church's and Russell & Bromley.
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.
I quite like the idea of family. That's probably the greatest achievement in the world. I've got a lot to achieve workwise - I'd love to direct - but family would be good.
I constantly watch The Simpsons (1989) and an English cartoon called The Raccoons (1985) and Adventures of the Gummi Bears (1985). I was obsessed with ninja films, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), I used to love that as well.
I asked for a piano in the TARDIS, but it hasn't happened. I'd love to see The Doctor rock up and play, but it'd have to be done in an inventive and silly way.
Every two weeks on Doctor Who (2005), the set is completely different, the world is different and there are new actors coming in. So, it's constantly surprising, and it's a pressure that you relish, actually.
Time travel is such a magic concept.
There is a history of footballers in my family; my granddad played for Notts County and my dad played at county level.
The storytelling in Doctor Who (2005) is quite universal.
Spiders - the way they move freaks me out. It's so malevolent.
Some people don't need to work hard because they are so talented.
Police boxes, tweed blazers and bow ties feel quite English, but I think that is one of his virtues, one of the strengths of Doctor Who (2005).
Overnight ratings are dead. It's just not the way TV is sold any more.
No, I'm not religious. At all. I'm an atheist.
It seems like there's a real appetite for science fiction in the States.
I've always loved dinosaurs.
I'm not hugely technical with things, but I guess that the thing I use most is my iPhone, on a practical level.
So many more people recognise you and want to take up a moment of your time for a photo or a hello. You try to deal with it with grace and a degree of humour, because what's the alternative?
It's hard work, Doctor Who (2005), but let's be frank about it, I'm fortunate to be rewarded in the ways that I am. I don't just mean financially, I mean the nature of the part and everything that comes with it.
If you want to give it a good go, you've got to make some sacrifices and be as dedicated as you can be. Particularly with 'Doctor Who.' It's two or three hours of line-learning a night.
If I see a spider in the flat, I try to get a cup and a piece of paper and throw it out of the window. I can't kill them because they're good for catching flies.
If I could film, we'd film every episode of Doctor Who (2005), in New York. I have an affinity with the city. It has some wonderful locations and it is devastatingly vast and huge. Central Park looks amazing on camera.
I'm awful at karaoke, but if I did have to sing, I'd go for my favourite Frank Sinatra song 'I've Got You Under My Skin.' The fact I love Frank is my grandfather's doing: he drummed it into me from a very early age that Frank Sinatra is God.
I think there's an interesting contradiction of having a young face and an old soul. There's something funny about it, and it also allows you to reinvent being old.
There are great disciplines from being a sportsman that you can transfer into being an artist. The preparation, the sacrifice, the constant desire to improve.
Sometimes when you lose your mobile phone, even though it's frustrating, it's sort of rewarding in many ways because, though we do rely on them a lot, we are not reliant on them. The world continues without.
(on his Brazilian girlfriend): It's a bloody nightmare because she's 6,000 miles away. But what can you do when you're in love?
(On the Eleventh Doctor and his companion, Amy Pond): He's a lot less tolerant than a lot of Doctors and she's got a fire in her soul, in her belly, and so they combust together ... but there's a great affection and love there.
(On getting the role as The Doctor): When I got the role I paced around the room for about three days because I didn't know what to do. I was just smiling and thought 'I'm the Doctor!' It's weird!
(On working with Christian Slater in the play, "Swimming with Sharks"): He's cool, Christian, I liked him. He's a good guy but I had a tough time, for a variety of reasons. I'd never done that length of run before. It was quite a learning curve.
I just want to try and make brave choices and not get too het up about ladders. Look at the careers of people like Michael Gambon and Ian McKellen. Learn your craft. I'm still rough around the edges and I want to keep on improving.
(On being cast as The Doctor) I'm just so excited about the journey that is in front of me. It's a wonderful privilege and challenge that I hope I will thrive on.
David Tennant has made the role his own, brilliantly, with grace, talent and persistent dedication. I hope to learn from the standards set by him.
(On acting at the National Youth Theatre): As a young actor, there is no better place to learn your craft.
(on working with Lindsay Duncan in That Face): I completely admire her. She's a constant source of information - not only about acting but about life and love. She's a cool cat. There's something very rock 'n' roll about her.
