Doctor Doof, Doof, Doof

Matt Smith is interviewed in The Guardian this weekend and had a few interesting things to say about the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor.

Asked how he is going to make the Doctor his own, Smith told the paper, “He’s a little reckless. He’ll walk into a room and have a million things to do. And, as opposed to knowing exactly how to get out, he’ll take it up to the precipice: don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, and boom, there’s the idea. And it’s a bit mad and reckless. It’s very doof, doof, doof. And he’s got a companion who I think is the hardest to handle. And she’s quite mad. But the Doctor’s quite mad as well. So together…”

Smith also commented on the more somber side of the Doctor’s personality, “I think it’s impossible to escape that with the Doctor. He’s lost so many people and devastated so much… bad or good, he’s brought whole empires down. He’s seen a lot, and that’s part of his personality. But that’s also what gives him such joy and effervescence.”
