Matt Smith Quotations | Page 2

I got injured when I was a kid, and it prevented me from becoming a footballer.

It's very rare that I play cool people. I'm not sure what that says about me.

Now, the question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica? Answer, I do. Next question, who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me, no plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else - I don't have anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you. And then, and THEN, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.

I think expectations of 'Doctor Who' should always be high, because it's a show that must always progress and get better and better.

We didn't start Theocracy because we wanted to be cool like so-and-so and make money. Our songs aren't trendy, and our lyrics hopefully make people think about certain concepts in a new way.

I can’t think of anyone else I’d travel around the universe with than Amy Pond.

We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

When I started Doctor Who Steven Moffat said, "That's it for the rest of your life." I'll be Doctor to a whole generation when they're 50.

Read about a few men who wear (or wore) bow ties as an act of defiance, and check out a tie that makes a strong statement. Bow ties are cool.

I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you're playing a builder you get to know about building, if you're playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive... that's part of the reason I love it.

I started writing songs in high school and always wanted to have a band, and eventually my creative endeavors developed into Theocracy. So in some ways, you could say the vision has been there since I started writing songs.

The majority of romantic comedy movies have nothing to do with love, but everything to do with infatuation.

I just love vampires.

No one can improve on nature's landscapes. I feel I've hit the mark when I've captured a balance between mood, look, and feel... when viewers say they sense the desert heat, or the chill of a mountain snowfall.

Time travel is such a magic concept.

It seems like there's a real appetite for science fiction in the States.

There’s rivalry between the Harry Potter fans and the Twilight fans. And Twilight fans think they’re much cooler than the Harry Potter fans. And I’m like, I dunno why, they’d all get their butts kicked by the Doctor Who fans.

As an actor, you'll have ten parts in 2015 - eight of them will go to the other actors above you and two of them you might be close to, and you try to make them as good as you can.

The storytelling in 'Doctor Who' is quite universal.

I've always loved dinosaurs.

A theocracy is a government ruled directly by God, and for us it means "Theocracy within". In other words, trying to live by God's principles instead of just living selfishly.

I used to love ninja movies. That was my thing.

Amy Pond, there's something you'd better understand about me 'cause it's important, and one day your life may depend on it: I am definitely a mad man with a box!

A lot of times, people have forgotten about an album by the time it's released, because it leaked three months earlier. Very strange days we live in.

In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important

The fact that you've got zombies in this movie allows you to make slightly bolder choices tonally.

Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.

I'm interested in how a lot of people pull objects together to form an environment that we feel reflects ourselves or makes us feel comfortable.

Actors, movie stars, rock stars, I can meet them with no worries - but with footballers I go weak at the knees. All of them.

Amy Pond is, er...I've sort of fallen in love with Amy Pond.

Kids should feel afraid of 'Doctor Who.' All the adults I've talked to remember fondly being afraid when they were kids. That's part of the reason they remember it and love it. And if you're afraid in a controlled way, you sort of appreciate fear in some respect.

Be brave. Don't be afraid to be stupid.

You can eliminate color and still have a painting that works, but you must have drawing, value and design.

By not speaking you don't get rid of the story, you just open up a silence, which can be just as loud.

My palette contains a warm and cool of each primary, plus four modifiers: Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Blue-Violet and Phthalo Yellow-Green just mix as I go for each painting.

When you think about it, we’re all different people all through our lives, and that’s okay, that’s good, you’ve got to keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.

It's been four years. It's been the best four years. It's been wonderful, it's been a privilege to work under Steven Moffat. But I think when you gotta go, you gotta go It's sad, I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss Comic-Con as well. It wasn't an easy decision, but I dunno, you can't play it forever. And, look, they'll get someone amazing and brilliant, and that's the great thing about the show. It continues, and it will get bigger and better. And you'll forget about me.

There's too much of everything - too many bands, too many albums, too much information all the time. You're seeing fewer album releases treated as big events, because of the influx. It's almost a "here this week, forgotten next week" thing.

When something in life occurs that is troubling, we are supposed to not dwell on the thing itself. Instead, the focus should be on our obligation to turn this bad thing into something beautiful. It's not easy. But, if you focus your creative energy away from self-torture and onto ‘how you can turn this into something beautiful’ pretty remarkable things start to happen.

I am a fancy dress grump, to be honest.

I don't think anything could prepare you for whatever fame is. Fame is a very hard word to define cause it means different things to different people for different reasons so I never really think of it [ackowledgment] as fame, I think of it as part of the actor's job.

When I'm painting outdoors, I only have time to think about what I'm saying, not how I'm saying it.

I'm particularly inspired by pristine locations. I enjoy working in areas where one can travel for miles without seeing any human influence.

I think you can hear the struggles and hear a realness in Theocracy songs, a human element that you don't get from a lot of the typical Christian stuff.

I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improbable dreams.

I think Christians should be leaders in art, science, philanthropy, charity, and all kinds of good works. We should be good examples for everyone. Unfortunately though, that's not often the case.

Big flashy things have my name written all over them. Well... not yet, give me time and a crayon.

I'm not a tweeter or a Facebooker or a Grammer. I'm a real grump when it comes to technology. I'm like, come on, just write me a letter.

The last time we came out flat-footed, and this time we came out swinging first. We knew they'd be a little overconfident, and we just took it to them.
