It's one thing getting the job of Doctor Who, which is wonderful. And then the next thing they say to you is, 'We're going to announce it live on television!' And you think, 'That's not exactly what I thought I was signing up for!'

I've had more fan mail from 'Doctor Who' than anything. People love the show so passionately.

I was well aware of the fact that once you appeared in Doctor Who as something else, you were ruled out for the part of the Doctor: that was a kind of well known thing in the business.

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 know what 'Doctor Who' fans are like because I am a 'Doctor Who' fan myself. They're good people.

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

I was so thrilled to be in 'Doctor Who.' It's such a wonderful experience, and the fan base that that show has never fails to surprise me.

'Doctor Who' belongs to all of us. Everybody makes 'Doctor Who.'

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