I wasn't interested in novelty. I was looking for good drama.

I've never ever read a script. I really must read Macbeth, because I was in it once. I got a lot of laughs in that, I can tell you.

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

We have newsreaders behaving like actors, lowering their voices if it's a sad story, as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader.

"Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot."

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.

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