This month's challenge at
picspammy is "your favorite person". I immediately though of Miss Billie Piper, because my love for this woman is strong and pure. Well, not so pure, but it's strong, and I think she's so dynamic and enthralling, whenever she's on my screen I can't take my eyes off of her. She's been through so much and come out a better person because of everything, but she doesn't sugar coat her life or try to pretend like she's a perfect person. She's probably the most beautiful creature on the planet and I could keep gushing but you should just look at the pretty pictures instead of reading my babbling.
She looks blurrily pulled together, until you start to notice things like the chewing gum stuck to the side of her shoe. "I like it. And I like ladders in tights and holes in clothes, and I love people who are full of flaws. I like people who go, 'I'm a bit of an arsehole; deal with it.' At least you know where you stand. And then you can go, "Yes you are a bit of an arsehole and I don't want to deal with it. You deal with it. I'm such a child."
Tennant is lyrical about his co-star and clearly enjoys the dynamic of the characters' relationship: 'She's just perfect,' he says, 'she was so welcoming and easy to work with, and I was nervous about that, because it's nine months and a lot of stuff to do together and that relationship has really got to work, just from a getting-through-the-day point of view, never mind the acting side. I really think she is a brilliant actress, too: in every take she's got something new, she makes it look effortless.'
"I know it sounds odd but I very quickly became bored with being a child."
"There's something romantic about being a bit destructive and a bit mad. Just kind of floating around. Not aimlessly, but just trying to live differently or feeling like people don't really understand you and therefore feeling slightly alienated or isolated. And I have felt like that at times."
(about men proposing on one knee) "No man should that, it's so embarrassing and weird. Like I find the asking the dad thing odd. Don't ask my dad, ask me! I've got to spend the next 30 years with you. Or 50. I'm not aiming high, am I? I've got to spend the next two years with you."
"I don't feel like I need to dress up or impress."
(on her book) "I didn't want it to be me whinging about people I love, but at the same time there's no point in doing it if you can't be honest."
"It's one thing when you're pretending to be a love machine. But if I had to do it in real life, I'd find myself absolutely hilarious."
"I don't know. It's just a feeling. It's wanting to be with someone and commit yourself to someone and make someone happy. I want to share something with someone for the rest of my life. I think the world can be really good fun when you hold somebody else's hand and witness it together. And I really believe in marriage!"
"I think people assume I'm going to be mad because people think all famous people are mad. I also think people think I have a completely different existence to them. But I have a normal life."
"Everyone thinks that you're really sorted and that you have perfect life. It really wasn't then, but it's near perfect now, I think."
"I am no longer that bothered about being famous. All those dreams I'd had about being a big film star, or winning an Oscar - I've let go of them. Obviously, I want the things I do to be enjoyed, but I'm not worried about going to Hollywood or making serious money."
(David Tennant on who inspires him) "Billie Piper has an ability to be completely relaxed and emotionally very open so it seems like she's not working at all and that's very inspiring."
Hope you enjoyed it! Please don't use the caps for graphics or anything because I colored and sized each pic separately which took forever. Original images can be found
