Yesterday and today, Chris was in New-York for the 2019 edition of the New York City Comic Con. He did a panel on Thursday and photos ops both days.  Here is a list of quotes from his panel:

•  “It’s nothing to be ashamed of.” (On his struggles with anorexia and body dysmorphia).
•  “What’s it called when I became David Tennant?”
•  “Was that (the accent) a choice you were able to make?”
• “It’s the only accent I can do”
• “What was your favourite episode to shoot?”
• “The Doctor Dances!”
• “I could never see what Russell wanted with the Doctor. I could see what he wanted for Rose, that was his strength. But I could see what Moffatt wanted for the Doctor.”
• “That’s why I’ve started doing these conventions to make it clear that I did love playing the Doctor”
• “The Doctor has two hearts ❤️❤️, so he has twice as much love, that’s how I see it.”
• “I know that people love that film, and I respect that. So... The Leftovers.” (about Thor: The Dark World)
• “There was a lack of humour in that film so... shall we move on?” (about Thor: The Dark World)
• “He’s now a casting director, that kid. He works for Boris Johnson.”
•  “The climate... The Doctor loves this planet...” (On the message of Doctor Who)
• “Maybe I’ll return in 2022. Because you add Thirteen and Nine, and you get 22. Yeah, let’s start something off.”
• “I think the War Doctor was a brilliant invention of Steven Moffat”
• “It was the politics with those three people. I wasn’t tired of being the Doctor.” (On why he stopped being The Doctor).
• “My daughter says ‘Garlics’ instead of ‘Daleks’. What are the Garlics doing daddy?”
• “I was blacklisted in my country for four years... That’s unofficial, but it’s clear what was happening.”
• “If someone asks me to kiss their ass, I bite it. That’s what I learned about myself... If you stand up for what you believe in, it will manifest itself somewhere down the line.”
•  “You’re my mom’s favourite Doctor.”
• “It’s always the Mother, isn’t it? It’s never the hot 40-year-old daughter or son.”
•  “He called me a chicken bone. Fantastic! I said Fantastic, didn’t I?”
• “I was wondering if you remember your final scene in Gone in 60 Seconds?”
• “Oh, yeah! I got paid extra for that!!!”
• “My father threw me out of the house on Christmas Day, and it wasn’t really him. *Dementia* threw me out of the house.” 
• “Would you play a hero or a villain?”
• “A really complex villain is always the best. Ask Tom Hiddleston.”
• Fan: “Hello, Doctor!”
• Chris (super cheerfully): “Hello, Nurse!!”
• “Arsenal? You like Arsenal?? I bet you like Coldplay. All Arsenal fans like Coldplay.”

He also confessed that he was about to start his own production company called Correct Productions. They will work on documentaries and shows, but he’s mostly interested in documentaries though a casting for a show is gonna open soon and he really want to be part of it.
