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.

One longs to be funny, to make people laugh. Laughter is such a sign of approval, isn't it?

A great tribute, is expressing the great love for a Grandmother we share with our children.

Being Doctor Who, I used to look at the clock and know at half past four we were going to stop rehearsing - and that was a sad moment for me because I wanted to stay in this beautiful, unreal world.

Keepers of light carry invisible candles of hope, touching hearts and illuminating the souls of friends.

Strive to have sunshine in our hearts each day. It will greatly improve our outlook.

My capacity as a monk was to passionately believe utter nonsense, and when you're an actor you have to do the same thing. Also, Christianity used to have a lot to do with self-loathing and an acceptance of criticism and things like that which is terribly important for actors.
