  • Quotes

    • (on playing "Tintin", in the motion-capture movie by Steven Spielberg)
      Thomas: I wouldn't say I'm daunted, I'm quite excited, though I haven't really thought of it like that, though it's going to take two years post-production, so it's going to be a while before the public see it, I'll just deal with it when it happens.

    • Thomas: At school you're treated as a child and that's it. On a film set you're treated as an actor, as a better person, which sounds awful but it's true. Teachers are a higher authority in some ways. But I like that because it grounds me and I like my friends because they don't care and they know I've been filming and that's it, they don't care. And as soon as I start rambling on about it they tell me to shut up. And I like that because again that brings me back down and I don't want to get too far out there.

    • (on his part in "Doctor Who")
      Thomas: It was great fun to make, the people were excellent, and all the crew were like a big family as they had been doing it for so long; people had also come and gone so fast that they were used to having new people around and were very friendly. It was also the first role that I did as an adult so the first time that I had acted without having any chaperones or teachers.

    • Thomas: I find it weird the way people get so excited about celebrity. If my friends are on the phone, their friends will say: 'Is that kid from Love Actually there?' And the phone gets passed round and I have to speak to this stranger asking: 'Are you famous?' I don't know how to answer.
