Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
John: (on narrowly escaping a serious car crash): I was actually travelling up to see them play last week, the Man Utd versus Chelsea game last Sunday when I was involved in a car accident, so I never made it. It was on the M1 and that's why my hand is in this bandage. I'm OK but I was very lucky to walk away from it. I'm fine now.
-
John Simm: (on if he'd come back to Doctor Who): I'm not, by the way, ruling out a return to Doctor Who in the future. It's too exciting a show to be a part of for me to do that.
-
John: (on his role in The Devil's Whore): Oh, he's a horrible, nasty piece of work - a really feral, stubborn bastard, The minute I read the script, I was bowled over by it and by him. It's a hell of a part and I'm really, really honoured that they gave it to me. I had to fight for it though. I had to audition - which was something I hadn't done for ages - and I won it, which was really great.
