I’m not very glamorous.

My own style is one of not much effort.

I’ve had journalists beg me to please say something negative about my estate.

I always have to have breakfast before I leave the house, even if it’s 4 A.M. and I’m not hungry.

I constantly make lists and itineraries and then can’t stick to any of them.

I swing between procrastination and being really thorough so either way things aren’t getting done quickly.

I went to a very academic school that actually – when I got to the point of wanting to pursue acting, they just had no idea how to do that, because all of their contacts...

I’m one of these people that if I have a nice holiday – like I have had in Turkey repeatedly – I go back a lot.

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...

The way sci-fi works, you can never die.

I was very much into science when I was young – I wanted to be a marine biologist, then I wanted to be a doctor, and then something else, I was always changing.

I couldn’t sustain myself if I skimped on food – I work 16-hour days, I need the energy, I can’t afford to be stingy on what I eat.

I appreciate individualism.

I’m fully aware that ‘Doctor Who’ will always, always be part of my life, and that’s not something I would run away from in the slightest. I wear it with pride, definitely.

I don’t have an iPod! It’s never appealed to me, really.

Being short works for me.

I know it’s really square but I’m one of those people who piles on the factor 50 as soon as I’m outside.

I love hotels for their solitude and comfort, but I believe a seedy one can have as much promise as a plush one.

I only unwind at facials and massages.

I used to be absolutely addicted to the gym and I do still love it.
