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

Being short works for me.

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

I appreciate individualism.

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

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

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.

I'm not very glamorous.

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

My own style is one of not much effort.

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 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 were very academic.

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'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.
