Cinema is so slow and boring compared to television.

Every episode [in a TV series] is a challenge, and what's challenging in most episodes is the monster. You're always a heartbeat from the monster looking ridiculous. You really have to work so hard to make them not look like ridiculous when they turn up on the set.

The Doctor...is embarrassingly human for an alien.

You don't want to take over the universe. You wouldn't know what to do with it beyond shout at it.

You have to take your own bold approach, and if you do you will be rewarded with success. Or calamitous failure. That can happen too.
