Karen Gillan was interviewed on Fearne Cotton’s show on Radio 1 earlier today and discussed the Doctor Who tour, working with Matt Smith, and her character Amy Pond.

“Amy is a very sassy lady. She meets the Doctor in a really, incredibly interesting way, which may determine their relationship for the first part of the series. She’s not completely in awe of the Doctor all the time, there’s none of that. She doesn’t take his word as gospel or anything. She’s kind of like ‘OK if you’re gonna go off and doing that, then I’m going to go off and do my own thing’. She’s very much independent in that way. She’s really funny. Funny, sassy and strong.” Gillan said.
