It wasn't until I got involved in Doctor Who that I started doing dramas on television.

I've always thought people would find a lot more pleasure in their routines if they burst into song at significant moments.

There's a lot of me in Captain Jack and there's a lot of Captain Jack in me. And there is no pun intended.

I find with television, you have to play personality, whereas onstage, everyone talks about "the character," and what you do. It's a very different thing, because stage is much bigger, but on television, for things to come across to the public, I think you have to play a bit of your personality.

I am not one of those actors who dwells on the histrionics and the subtext and future text of the character. I deal with the scenes that I'm doing at that specific time, because if I do that, they play in more of a real way.

I was the one who taught my sister and my niece how to walk in high heels.

If you do something and it goes wrong, you learn from it and you move on.
