  • Fear is a constant motivator for David Tennant. So much so that he wrestles with it on stage while reciting lines that his brain is telling him are impossible to memorize. Hopefully Shakespeare doesn't mind a little improv.

    “Fear motivates everything I do at all times; it’s a constant engine.” THIS. This is such a true statement for me.

    He carried Broadchurch, Jessica Jones, Doctor Who and even now is carrying Good Omens. Yet he still thinks he doesn't deserve his acclaim?

    I feel bad for him. A man so brilliant and successfull doubting himself so much is heartbreaking.

    Knowing that an actor who I admire as much as David Tennant also suffers from Impostor Syndrome gives me a bit more confidence in myself.

    Celebrities speaking up about imposter syndrome is sooo important. Seriously, thanks so much David Tennant

    The way he explained how his brain is a separate entity is how I've always felt. That's crazy

    I was in marching band for three years in high school and there’s always the moment in the middle of the show when you “ wake up”. Like your body knows exactly what to do and you can still think and move like normal but in the middle of the show for no reason your brain catches up to you and you realize what exactly It is that you are doing. And then suddenly you are micro analyzing every step, visual, and character move you are doing. And thats where the mistakes happen.

    I think David doubting himself is what makes him so endearing and down to earth still. I wish him many decades more of acting jobs. 🥰

    David Tennant improvised Shakespeare. What a badass. One of the many, many reasons why he's my favorite actor of all time.

    "You improvised Shakespeare"

    What David said about improvising Shakespere is basically the biggest thing that my high school drama teacher, my voice teacher, and my guitar teacher all used to say in relation to performing live: No one will ever know that there's been a mistake until you call attention to it. Your audience will only think that you're putting your own spin on whatever it is.

    David Tennant deserves the world but we don't deserve him. I have the same feelings toward Matthew Gray Gubler. So underrated people.
