ADD QUOTES
- Christopher: I love my accent, I thought it was useful in Gone In 60 Seconds because the standard villain is upper class or Cockney. My Northern accent would be an odd clash opposite Nic Cage.

- Christopher: My bony face is like a car crash. I haven't got good looks, just weird looks, enough to frighten the fiercest monster.

- (Regarding children's response of him as the Ninth Doctor) Christopher: In all the 20 years I've been acting, I've never enjoyed a response so much as the one I've had from children and I'm carrying that in my heart forever.
