If you're working on 'Doctor Who,' you've got to be the Doctor. So yeah, I think they need a woman Doctor, and that's who I'd like to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do think it's well over-time to have a female Doctor Who. I think a gay, black female Doctor Who would be the best of all.
In the next few years I'd love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her - she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.
I don't know how doctors pick one specialty over another. Some you can understand. Pediatricians. Or gynecologists delivering babies, bringing a new life into the world, but how does someone want to be a proctologist? How can you fall in love with proctology?
I hadn't realised what an institution 'Doctor Who' is.
How could you not wanna be in 'Doctor Who' at least once in your career?
You know, in playing a role like this, you really want to get it right, because this is a person who was revered by so many doctors, women doctors especially.
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.
'Doctor Who' belongs to all of us. Everybody makes 'Doctor Who.'
It's kind of ironic that if I get my Ph.D., I'll be a real doctor.
I didn't want to be Doctor Who in a 'Doctor Who' that I didn't like.
