Every viewer who ever turned on Doctor Who has taken him into his heart. He belongs to all of us.

I'm pretty good for an old geek.

I'm a huge fan of The Sopranos, and suddenly, you find yourself going one-to-one with this guy who you've been watching for years, watching every flicker in his eye and every detail on his face.

My family has to be very patient living with me, if you're playing a part that's not you. You have to get it right.

I'm sure if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be doing classic guitar solos on YouTube.

I'd say, don't listen to what anyone says: you're good. Go put your anorak on. Get your thick bottle-top specs. Draw your little cartoons and your comics and keep writing to the BBC.

Keep going and don't give up. You're doing wonderfully. You'll know how to fly this thing eventually.
