I am perhaps unusual in that I came to 'Doctor Who' through the numerous novelisations and not through the television show.

'Dr Who' is an extraordinary association that I have because I didn't realise until I was in the show quite how worldwide it is and how popular and how dear it is to so many people's hearts.

What I'd love to do is every now and then go, 'Oh my God, I've got this amazing idea for 'Doctor Who.'

I'm so excited to be working on 'Doctor Who,' as it's such a big and important part of British culture.

I certainly hope they let me make another 'Doctor Strange.' I would do it in a second. I love this character. It's been the best filmmaking experience of my career; I work really well with these guys. It was a rewarding, collaborative process that I would do again in a second.

The digitization of human beings will make a parody out of 'doctor knows best.'

I didn't want to be Doctor Who in a 'Doctor Who' that I didn't like.

The storytelling in 'Doctor Who' is quite universal.

Doctor Who was a big part of my childhood so it was a great honour to be in it.

Even if I hadn't been cast as Doctor Who, my acting would probably have been influenced by William Hartnell or Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, and all of the other guys. Because those were the actors that I really watched every moment of, as opposed to Laurence Olivier.
