We like to think that our parents made a decision to bring us into the world.

I only ever worked on interiors, and an interior is an interior. I don't know what they did about exteriors.

I want to direct but I think I'd be bloody awful and I don't want to produce but I think I'd be a very good producer because if I believed in something I'd be able to protect it.

I loved playing [the Doctor], and taking part in the basic essence and message of the series which is, it's a short life, seize it, and live it as fully as you can. Care for others. Be respectful of all other life forms, regardless of colour or creed. To be part of that was fantastic.

I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor's dream!

I don't see a lot of films. I'm quite choosy, but there's certain films that stick out.

We all need a firm sense of identity.
