It never occurred to me that I’d be typecast, although I was. And I never thought of the role as a commercial product, because I was… well, I was playing this slightly messianic alien. He isn’t violent, he doesn’t get his leg over the girl, he doesn’t steal, and he’s rather wry, and adorable, and mysterious. He’s lived for 900 years or something. He lives the life of the old patriarchs of the Old Testament. That’s not commercial. He’s special.

A True Friend who leaves heart felt messages, can be a lighthouse to others, sharing light and truth, which comes from their heart.

I have never described the time I was in Doctor Who as anything except a kind of ecstatic success, but all the rest has been rather a muddle and a disappointment. Compared to Doctor Who, it has been an outrageous failure really - it's so boring.

I never read the scripts at all carefully and never wanted to know what was going on, because i felt that being a benevolent alien, that's the way it should be.

Brighten someone's by adding a spoon full of kindness.

Friends are like Lighthouses, with the sources of light coming from their hearts.

Lis Sladen was very important to me, you know. When I joined the little world of 'Doctor Who', Lis was already a star.
