Vulture's Matt Smith Interview

Is it already that time of the year when various magazines start to interview the who-is-who of 'Doctor Who'? It seems so, because 'Vutlure's featuring an interview with Matt Smith.

It starts out with him talking about his socks moves on commenting on why he's leaving and how him doing one more season after the Ponds stepped out of the TARDIS has been his plan for quite some time.

There is a sentence about Karen Gillan's new hair - or rather non-hair; Matt seems to have started a trend. There are also the obligatory questions regarding the anniversary and the possibility of Moffat casting an actress as the 12th Doctor. His diplomatic answer:
I don’t see why not. As long as it’s the best actor or actress or fish or otter, it doesn’t matter.
Am I the only one spotting a Benedict Cumberbatch reference in there?

One of the more innovative questions is if he'd been ever confused by Moffat's storylines. Unsurprisingly, his answer is no and he calls it's his 'job to make sense of it'. And even though there are people who may be complaining about Who's complicated storytelling, he asks fans to embrace all the various layers the Mighty Moff has plotted out far in advance as after all, that's  'what we fans of sci-fi want'. I'd have to lie if I said he's wrong.

Additionally, Matt reveals that he'd like to keep the sonic screwdriver and his jacket when leaving. And, among other stuff, he tells the story of how he got involved with 'Doctor Who' and 'How to Catch a Monster'.
