I love radio, and I haven't done it - other than the actual 'Doctor Who' - for so long now. It takes a different kind of discipline and a different kind of enjoyment, really.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It took, for me, a long time to develop this idea of what to do on the radio. But from the beginning of my time in radio, I had pretty non-traditional tasks.
I like doing radio because it's so intimate. The moment people hear your voice, you're inside there heads, not only that, you're in there laying eggs.
I've always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.
The thing about radio is that it's got an intimate feel. What I like is that you don't have to give it your full attention - you can still do something else that the same time, whereas TV is all-enveloping: you have to sit there and pay attention to it, and give yourself over to it. You have to surrender to it, but you don't with radio.
I've tried it all. I'd love to do radio plays. I think that one should be open to everything and shouldn't limit oneself.
The radio is good for taking somebody else's experience and making you understand what it would be like. Because when you don't see someone, but you hear them talking - and, uh, that is what radio is all about - it's like when someone is talking from the heart. Everything about it conspires to take you into somebody else's world.
The goal for me has always been to learn how to express myself in radio and to have fun doing it and work with whatever contingencies arise.
It's so rewarding being on radio, especially because it's not about what you look like at all. And I love comedy, so it's very exciting.
If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.
I like radio because you can do an hour-long interview and then three days later have a finished piece.
