I Appreciate Individualism.

David Tennant Is A Massive Fan, And Grew Up Dreaming He Would Be The Doctor Who One Day. So I Did Feel, When I First Got The Job, "right, Now I've Got To Do Loads Of Research Into Absolutely Everything Doctor Who." But That's Not Possible To Do In A Short Space Of Time. So My Knowledge Has Been Growing And Developing As I've Been Doing It, And That's Been Fine. That's Been Appreciated By The Fans, And The Executives Never Expect Me To Be Brushed Up On Absolutely Everything.

I Found A Lot Of Comfort In The Fact That 30-odd People Have Been Companions Before Me. I Think That When There Are So Many People Contributing So Many Things To The Show, All You Can Do Is Make It Your Own. You Can't Try To Emulate Anyone, Because Who Would You Pick? The Companions Are Very Much The Everyman, And The Audience Watches The Story Through Their Eyes, So They Could Be The Person Next Door. And Everybody's Different.

I Love Hotels For Their Solitude And Comfort, But I Believe A Seedy One Can Have As Much Promise As A Plush One.

I'm Not Very Glamorous.

I'm Terrified Of Bugs And I Travel With Sprays, Lotions, Potions; The Lot. I Have To Check The Room Before I Go To Sleep And If I Come Across A Bug And Fail To Remove It I Have To Sleep In A Separate Room As I'm Paranoid That I'll Be Taken Advantage Of As I Sleep.
