I am a big man, but I've allowed my condition to deteriorate by being overweight.

I was well aware of the fact that once you appeared in Doctor Who as something else, you were ruled out for the part of the Doctor: that was a kind of well known thing in the business.

As any actor will tell you, the hardest thing to do is small parts, because you focus all your attention and concentration on that small part. When you're playing the lead part, you don't have time to think about the whole of it, so you just have to steam on and get on with it.

The waves of time wash us all clean.

I hope I'm always convincing when I act!

Small though it is, the human brain can be quite effective when used properly.

Nobody can fail to lose weight in the jungle, unless they've got a secret stash of pork pies somewhere.
