'Doctor Who' belongs to all of us. Everybody makes 'Doctor Who.'

A little showbiz never hurt anyone.

I haven't played Doctor Who since I was 9 on the playground.

I think the most extraordinary thing about fans is the level of excellence that they show in the work that they do. I mean, if you go onto the internet and see some of the fan videos that have been put together, they're just extraordinary; they could be programmes in their own right.

I wish I'd known that one day the geek would inherit the Earth.

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.

When I first came to London, I loved hanging around in cafes, smoking, scribbling, dreaming. It was life-affirming and fun.
