Quotes by David Tennant

David Tennant

All roads seem to have come back to Doctor Who in our life. But, no, it was a huge part of my growing up. I was a massive fan and it certainly inspired me to get into acting and to be … one of those people that tells stories on TV. That was a huge part of my childhood.

An accent has to do with the way your mouth works and the sounds that come out of your head, but somehow it informs everything about you.

Mouths

Sound

Thinking

And the very fact of how you speak somehow influences who you are. The way you move, the way you think, it seeps into your being, and it’s quite hard to really break that down entirely.

Moving

Thinking

Way

Back in 2005, when I was Christopher Eccleston, we saw one of the largest increases on record, of CO2 in the atmosphere. Unless we keep the rise in global temperature to under 2 degrees, by the time I’m Daniel Radcliffe or wee Jimmy Crankie, I won’t be able to save the planet. I won’t be here to help you — well I might, but I’ll be that bloke who won Any Dream Will Do.

I always like seeing people transforming themselves, in whatever way that might be, and a different accent is part of that.

I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there’s something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

Clever

Running

Smart

I mean, you know, while I’m acting on stage I’m ranking quite high, but in a room with Barack Obama I’m probably into negative digits. I never feel very famous.

Acting

Mean

Negative

I often stop when I’m doing something, in the middle of rehearsals or some other job, and I try to take a minute to think “Okay, this might be as good as it gets, so drink it in, appreciate it now”. So far, I’ve been lucky because another job has always come along to equal the last.
