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.

I like challenges that test your ingenuity.

I do adore food. If I have any vice it's eating. If I was told I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I could put up with sausage and mash forever.

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

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid.

I take every job on its merits.
