David Tennant was interviewed for the Observer Magazine this weekend and shared his thoughts on morality, media and making films with his wife. You can read some of his quotes below:
On his reputation for kindness:
"A good friend once told me: 'You’re not as nice as you
think you are.' I was stunned because it seemed quite harsh at the time, but
she was actually right…Niceness isn’t always a virtue, it can be quite
limiting."
On anxiety:
"I am a worrier, but I’m quite good at shielding it from the
outside world. I think I surprise people, apart from those closest to me, when
they find out I’m quite an anxious person."
On religion:
"Organised religion gave me a good moral compass. Dad
was a Church of Scotland minister and Mum was every inch the minister’s wife.
They were both good people who had respect for others. They’re gone now, but I
still feel them sitting on my shoulder, reminding me to be better."
On the current state of the world:
"I’m an optimist because otherwise there’s no way
forward. We’re in some very dark days and one can only hope that the pendulum’s
about to swing back."
On the impact of social media:
"On the news, I hate it when they read out people’s comments.
A perfectly balanced news report becomes unbalanced by keyboard warrior Jamie
from Chester spewing out his ill-educated nonsense, which is read out by a news
presenter as if it’s factual."
On making his new film:
"I love working with my wife. She was the boss on the
set of You, Me & Him, and I think she’s my boss anyway, so it wasn’t
noticeably different from everyday life."
You, Me And Him is released in cinemas nationwide from 112th April. For screening information please visit the film's official website.
