That’s one of the things I really respect and admire about ‘Doctor Who’, is that they’re always thinking out of the box with the characters they write and the actor they employ to portray them. They’re always challenging the stereotypes and peoples’ way of thinking.

To portray a singer who gets on stage at night, who is away from the limelight, is never an easy task.

They want to portray me as crazy, unhinged, unbalanced. OK, good, fine.
I wish I were as tough and strong as the women that I’m lucky enough to portray.

As tempting as it seems to wear tennis shoes with your tux, don’t do it. I think it looks ridiculous. If you’re 14 years old, maybe give it a shot. In general, don’t portray anything that says ‘I’m too cool and I don’t care.’

I talk as I sketch, too, in order to keep their minds off what I’m doing so I’ll get the most natural expression I can from them. Also, the talking helps to size up the subject’s personality, so I can figure out better how to portray him.
